Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout. When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

Micke Buitendag
Micke Buitendag
Born in 1995 in Cape Town, South Africa, Mické Buitendag is a self-taught mixed media artist whose creative journey began as a personal refuge—a way to process emotion and explore identity after completing a degree in business. What started as a therapeutic outlet soon evolved into a compelling artistic practice rooted in introspection, emotional depth, and selfexploration.
Mické Buitendag works primarily on high-gloss acrylic surfaces, blending digital and traditional media to form expressive, abstract compositions. Her creative process unfolds in three distinct layers, beginning with abstract painting on canvas. Through layers of texture, dynamic brushstrokes, and translucent washes, fragmented and multi-perspective faces emerge— portraits that mirror the complexity of human thought and the many layers of identity.
With a vibrant palette and rich textural depth, Mické Buitendag’s work captures the tension between chaos and beauty, destruction and renewal, and internal conflict and harmony. Themes of identity, memory, and perception lie at the heart of her practice. Each piece reflects not only the intricacies of who we are, but also how we perceive ourselves—and how we are perceived by others.
Mické Buitendag invites viewers to engage deeply with her work, not just as observers, but as participants. Her art encourages emotional connection and introspection, prompting audiences to question their own perceptions and to explore the underlying emotional narratives within each piece.
Now based in Dubai, Mické Buitendag is actively pursuing her international art career and will be exhibiting at World Art Dubai 2025. She is currently represented by The Artists Gallery in Cape Town, with her works reaching collectors and art enthusiasts around the globe.
