Odirile Makaku

Odirile Makaku is a Johannesburg based self-taught digital artist, who enjoys majority of mediums in the creative world; from contemporary art, poetry, singing, sculpting, installations to interior design, architecture and more. She believes that art is more like a religion, a spiritual journey where insanity meets illusion. Odirile was brought up in a diplomatic household, with constant traveling and adapting to new cultures and cities. Having had no “stable” place to call home, she believes that home is more of a feeling and not a place, this can be seen through her works, revolving around a repetitive cycle of personal rebirth and healing. Where the process of patience and emotional protection bring eternal balance. Odirile has been fortunate enough to be mentored by the renowned Neo Mahlangu,
guiding her into becoming the artist she has the potential to be.
