"Grounded" is the latest collection by South African artist Karla van den Bergh. After two decades in Clarens and travels across the globe, Karla returns with a bold new style shaped by her studies in France and the UK. Inspired by the rich textures of the Lowveld, her modern works invite you to experience depth, movement, and emotion in every layer. Each piece is a statement artwork — fresh, contemporary, and designed to bring a sense of place and story into your home.
