SK Original does broken glass artwork of Siya Kolisi

While Mzansi still celebrates the big achievement of the Rugby World Cup as a nation, a talented artist has decided to go the extra mile to give our captain, Siyamthanda ‘Siya’ Kolisi his flowers and curate an art piece of him.

Sandile Kgaphola, popularly known as SK Original, is a versatile artist who is known for his famous drawings and rugs.

The versatility of his craft always has his supporters in awe as he is a master of them all. SK specialises in an art style that comes in the form of customised art rugs, drawing of pencil portraits, broken glass artwork and other forms of art.  

The talented SK showed social media the process of achieving the broken glass artwork as he does the final touches of his tribute to the Springboks’ captain.

It is impeccable as to how he achieves his stellar results through just the use of two instruments as the final result is an identical representation of our captain.

While another users suggested, “Siya definitely needs to collect this one ???.”

The man of the moment himself responded in SK’s comments section upon seeing the art work and said, “I need to meet you please ❤️????.”
