The Artists
Three artists, three distinct voices. Artur and Michele Rama work in bold colour and striking form, exploring identity and transformation, while Pamela Cooper draws on the wild Atlantic coastline she calls home. Together their work is a blend of energy and quiet reflection.
Artur Rama
Father, husband, artist
Artur Rama began his artistic journey just seven years ago and has quickly become a sought-after painter, celebrated for his vibrant and evocative work. Born in the picturesque village of Canas de Senhorim, Portugal, he carries the spirit of his homeland into his art.
Michele Rama
Daughter, photographer, artist
Born in 1979 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Michele's journey is shaped by a life of rich cultural diversity and resilience. Growing up in northern South Africa with a refugee Portuguese father and British mother, she experienced an ever-shifting world, moving through cities and countries including England, Portugal, the United States, and Mozambique by the age of 21.
Pamela Cooper
Author, explorer, artist
Pamela has worked in many different fields, from banking and investment to property management, sales and marketing, and legal, until finally becoming an artist at the age of 40. She had a successful studio in Noordhoek for some years, where the public could visit and see her at work, and she is honoured to have her art on walls around the world.
