About Zane Pretorius

Born in Kwekwe, Zimbabwe in 1973, I began creating art at age six, inspired by my grandmother. My journey spans sculpture, wood carving, bronze casting, and metalwork—always exploring simplicity and imagination.

My creative path led me from studying sculpture to crafting intricate wood carvings from centuries-old trees, and later to working with wax, resin, and bronze. Welding and metalwork followed naturally, combining technical skill with artistic vision.

Crafting Forms Through Metal

Every material I touched taught me something new until one day the spark of welding lit a path I never knew I was meant to follow.
