Author: Vanessa Majoro

Vanessa Majoro is a retired telecommunications engineer and a self-taught abstract artist. Working primarily with recycled materials, she combines pointillism and threaded nylon drawings on paper to create intricate, textural works. Her practice is rooted in meditative processes, including the unweaving of nylon bags traditionally used to sell oranges—an act that reflects her commitment to sustainability and transformation. Majoro draws inspiration from her immediate environment, translating everyday materials into layered visual narratives. Her work has been featured in various platforms, including a commission with the Bag Factory Artists’ Studios, and group exhibitions with the Turbine Art Fair, and Sasol New Signatures. She is currently based in her hometown of Qwaqwa, South Africa, and is pursuing a BA in Visual and Multimedia Art.
