Our Rising Star no: 212 this week is young and humble guy who is passion about his work. A guy who will never give until his work reaches global masses. Mack Mamaregana (27) is from Mankweng township, Limpopo Province in South Africa. Mack De Artsit, as popularly known, is a visual artist specialising in pencil, charcoal and painting.
“I started drawing in 2014 and practiced my way until I reach my current level. I love art and it is an easy way for me to follow the path drawing since it already grew in me. I enjoy my work and my highlight was making a sketch of Senzo Radebe (South African Actor)”, he said.
Like most of artist, marketing is a crucial part for Mack, although using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok, he still find it difficult to reach his targeted audience.
“My prices are differ, like a pencil only without a frame ranges from R 1000,00 – R 6 000,00 from A4 – A1 size. A pencil colour without a frame (A4 = R 1300,00 – A1 = R 8000,00). Painting on canva, A2 = R 10 000, A1 = R 12 000,00, 30*36 = R 20 000,00, 36*40 R 40 000,00, 40*40 R 50 000,00. My clients are required to pay 50% before I start with the work and the portraits are completed within 3 – 5 days. One picture costs R 200,00 with FREE delivery around Polokwane and R 200,00 outside Polokwane” added Mack.
His last message to all aspiring artist is to use the little that they have, respect their instruments and be patient with your progress.
