Collection: 1975 Idalet - Early works collection

Idalet's early works collection portrays artwork from 1975 to 2000.

At the end of 1980, Idalet received a bursary to study Fine Arts, after receiving, according to her proud teacher “the highest mark achievable in art in matric (Grade 12)”. While studying at two universities, she was offered lecturing positions, but she gave up her studies and the job offers. She apparently received an assignment to “cycle through wet paint” and since she believed it did not constitute art, she stopped her studies and did not want to lecture this to future students.

After 1993, there was an extreme shift in her art style after she complained that no one understood her art.
