This name draws on African folklore where baobabs are sometimes seen as dwellings for spirits.

Bold and bright, filled with rich colouration, Willie Strydom’s paintings celebrate his expressive talent for the portrayal of majestic Boland Wineland and Klein Karoo mountain scenes, vineyards and coastal scenes, and even his love of the haphazard architecture of the Cape Malay Bo Kaap and old District Six.

His colourful interpretations of life have found their way into galleries and in private collections across South Africa and abroad.
