Pieter Jacques Krugel (1958) was born in the eastern highveld of South-Africa in the province of Mpumalanga. It was there that his love for nature was nurtured.
After he matriculated, Jacques completed a national diploma in Graphic Design. He utilised his knowledge and skills in video production and artistic functions at a major national corporation.
Today Jacques is a full-time artist, best known for his magnificent landscapes, nguni cattle, aloes, ostriches and indigenous trees. His medium of choice is acrylic paint on canvas and each of his works is bears a resemblance of his place of birth, the open skies and endless vastness – the magic of South-Africa.
Jacques’s work can be found in private collections. Especially that of major corporations in South-Africa and abroad.
