Nelson Mandela: quintessential peacemaker, global icon of racial reconciliation, political
prisoner, president, statesman... artist.
"Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a
symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the
brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid. It is true that Robben Island was once a
place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light
so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls ...
I have attempted to colour the island sketches in ways that reflect the positive light in
which I view it. "This is what I would like to share with people around the world ... that even the most
fantastic dreams can be achieved if we are prepared to endure life's challenges." |
