Meet Wilma

Wilma Seston is a semi-abstract artist best known for the intrigue captured in her urban, rural and sea collections.

Growing up on the slopes of a mountain between sea and forest in South Africa, she was captivated by the beauty, driving her passion and attention to anything nature-related.

She was called ‘Klippies” (Little Stones) for her consistent collection of rocks, ammonites and her art creations using objects from nature.

Since the early 2000’s, her art was exhibited in galleries and in competitions, with unprecedented success. Some galleries sold out all her work within a few days. Despite this, she continued working in a full-time job.

Wilma relocated to the UK in 2006 and is pursuing her dreams, working in her London Island Studio, where the canal spills into the Thames. Open Studio weekends are held regularly, and she exhibits at other relevant Art Fairs.

In August 2021, 3 of her artworks were chosen to feature on the set of a film by Paramount Pictures. Since then, another 25 pieces were selected for the film series. She feels honoured that her work is permanently exhibited in 'film'.

Wilma creates expressionistic and impressionistic pieces through the freedom of using both acrylic and watercolour. To portray the essence of an artwork, she leaves some transparency in the top layers for a sense of what lies behind its final story.

She knows that colour can energise and her work cheerfully uplifts the spirit. She defines all her work as
Emerging and Undefined.
