Juan-dre Kotze

Juan-dré Kotzé is an intuitive visual artist whose work emerges from listening rather than instruction. Guided by feeling, memory, and subtle inner shifts, his practice resists explanation and instead offers space — for reflection, recognition, and personal meaning.
His imagery often lives in the in-between: softness and strength, stillness and movement, fragility and endurance. Rather than telling a story, each piece holds a quiet tension that invites the viewer to bring their own experience into the encounter. Meaning is not fixed; it unfolds differently for each person who stands before the work.
Rooted in sensitivity and a deep awareness of the natural and emotional worlds, Juan-dré’s process is slow and layered. Texture, rhythm, and restraint play as much a role as form, allowing the work to breathe and remain open-ended.
This body of work is not intended to instruct or persuade, but to resonate. It asks nothing of the viewer except presence — and offers back whatever they are ready to receive.
