An African wild dog faces the viewer with unwavering attention, its great ears lifted to every sound beyond the frame. Warm golds, deep indigos, and flashes of ochre shape the animal against a pale, atmospheric background. The Listening Wild captures the heightened awareness of a creature whose survival depends on instinct, intelligence, and constant connection to its surroundings.

I had the pleasure of working with Makiwa, this incredibly talented artist on a personalised commission, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the process was smooth and enjoyable — Communication was clear and professional throughout, making the collaboration feel effortless and genuinely fun.
— Simon Kristal -United Kingdom
The finished piece was everything I had hoped for — and more. I already had high expectations, but the final result exceeded them in every way. Makiwa demonstrated remarkable attention to detail and a deep understanding of the vision we had discussed.

Shipping logistics were handled flawlessly. Despite the international delivery from South Africa to the UK, the painting arrived within just four days. The entire delivery process was seamless, I would absolutely love to commission another painting again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a personalised, high-quality commission handled with care and professionalism.

I have bought three beautiful pieces of art from Makiwa. Two of the art works were commissioned for me and the latest work is a very colourful large work of an elephant. The art work is exactly as it is displayed on his web site - so no surprises ! In fact the pieces are of course even better when you see them in real life. The postal service using DHL has worked very well for me. Thank you Makiwa for your professional service and of course for your very talented paintings.They are with us for life! :)

I received my painting today and absolutely LOVE IT! The painting arrived on the day/time I had been told. It was extremely well packaged. Makiwe was very responsive to all my emails throughout the ordering and delivery process. The whole process of ordering online was so seamless. Now I'm going to enjoy my investment.
