Portchie is one of South Africa’s most successful artists, but who is the man behind the colourful art? And how did Jan Hendrik Viljoen, a small boy from Tweeling in the Free State, become Portchie, the world-renowned artist? This memoir combines Portchie’s inspiring story with photographs, 60 paintings, 12 sculptures and even his favourite recipes. Portchie’s story is one of hope, of love and compassion, and of striking simplicity.
