b. 1961
“I derive great pleasure from wildlife and nature and respect every aspect thereof. My favourite pastime is visiting game parks, where I not only get my reference material from, but also find my inspiration.”
Lute Vink was born in Holland, but his parents moved to South Africa when he was two years old. Passionate about art from an early age, he began his full time art career in 1989.
Lute Vink’s artwork is in high demand. He’s best known for his vivid wildlife images, but he also paints still live scenes, figures and African farm landscapes. Part of his signature style is to include small details in his work, like guinea fowl feathers, porcupine quills or butterflies. His love of nature is evident in everything he paints.
His paintings hang in private and company collections worldwide and he has been credited and published in numerous magazines and publications. His paintings are owned by well-known companies including Sasol Limited, Sasol Polymers, Sasol clients in Malaysia and China, Swaziland’s royals, Standard Bank, Comparex and many others.
