Wiseman describes his creative process as impulsive and or spontaneous. “When I am busy
with a certain piece of work, my imagination can direct me to do something quite different from
the original that I had in mind.”
Though he randomly chooses his own subjects the clients will sometimes give a description.
“Sometimes it is a client's choice. I try to satisfy the needs of the person requesting the painting,
although I advise if I find that an alternate choice would be better. I used to paint paintings of
only stick ladies .So from stick ladies to abstract art or five piece painting. The journey to this
day has been remarkable.”
Wiseman believes that every painting has a different meaning depending of what the owner of
the art see. What he sees in the painting might be different from the next person. “Every
painting is unique; the people are appreciative of the fact that I paint according to their needs.
Every painting tells a story. Interpretation depends on the viewer and from which perspective
the person is seeing it.”
He says the lack of government support and understanding of art by Limpopo community is
sometimes a challenge. “In most challenging is finance and also my work place is not
suitable and trying to create a market is challenging. And there is no centre in the Province
where individual art is exposed.”
