KZN-based artist Ricollin Moodley is a force to be reckoned with.

The 24-year-old started his journey by creating art using materials such as old lipsticks, stale food colouring and charcoal. He is a self-taught artist with humble beginnings.

Even so, his talent has been appreciated globally. Moodley has sold his artwork to people in the Netherlands, China and Australia.

The Shelley Beach resident joined Stacey and J Sbu in studio today to discuss his journey into the world of art.

Speaking to Stacey and J Sbu about his journey, Ricollin shared how he took up art as a means to earn money to purchase food for his family.

"I took a pencil and found paper, went to the beach and started sketching," he explained. There, he met his first customer who commissioned a piece from him.

Ricollin is known for his unique use of lipstick, he explained that this began after digging in bins. He was unable to afford art supplies and took the 'risk' of using lipstick.

"Little did I know, I could actually create pieces of art with this," he shared.
