Sef Portrait

I am 15 years old and have a good sense of humour. I was born with cerebral palsy, which means I do not attend school and have some movement limitations. I spend time doing physiotherapy and horse riding, which help to strengthen my muscles and support my development.

I am very thankful for my sister, my mamma and pappa, and Amira, my working dog, who is a special part of my life.

I love art because it is inspiring and helps me remember things. Painting makes me happy, and art gives me a way to express myself and enjoy the moment.

What I enjoy most is creating animals—especially elephants and tigers. I love both painting and drawing and bringing these beautiful animals to life in my own way.

My favourite artist is Mariette Minnaar, who inspires me in my own creative journey.

When I grow up, I would like to become a painter and artist. Exhibiting in a gallery for the first time makes me very happy and proud, and it is an exciting step in sharing my art with others.
