Koos Gagiano is a South African artist and freelance graphic designer who studied art and graphic design in the late 1980s. Based in the Western Cape, he works full-time with both local and international design clients, while continuing to pursue his passion for painting.

Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, Koos creates realistic artworks that celebrate the spirit and personality of animals, landscapes, and everyday scenes. His detailed style, expressive brushwork, and bold use of colour invite viewers to look closer and discover the quiet stories within each piece.

His recent focus on miniature paintings — each no larger than the palm of your hand — captures the wild essence of African wildlife and the nostalgic charm of life. These small-scale works are rich in emotion and atmosphere, offering moments of wonder in compact form.
