Johan Steyn

South African-born artist Johan Steyn spent his entire life creating art on a national level ranging from coin design, national award trophies, sculpting, painting, and more.

His bronzes immediately grasp the viewer with a flood of emotion. Questions immediately arise as to the cause of emotion and the events that led to this situation. The work is original in all respects. It stands apart from most others.

He had extensive exposure to coin design and development as a sculptor and engraver for the South African Mint. This in combination with experience in the research environment and the influence his father (Louis Steyn – Batik artist) had on his development as an artist is uniquely expressed in his works.

Operating from his studio in Muizenberg – Cape Town, he produces low-edition works of outstanding quality and originality. This full-time sculptor focuses most of his attention on the human figure integrated with nature as well as heavenly beings in bronze.
