Art Born from Healing. Inspired by Life.

At Art by MaGa, every stroke tells a story of transformation. What began as a personal act of healing has grown into a collection of abstract expressions that invite reflection, emotion, and connection.

Who We Are

Founded by self-taught artist Pearl Mhlanga, Art by MaGa is a creative sanctuary where emotion meets color, and pain is reimagined as beauty. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Pearl’s work draws deeply from nature and travel, exploring the balance between chaos and calm, darkness and light.

Our Mission

To create art that heals, inspires, and connects. Through each piece, Art by MaGa seeks to remind viewers of the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty that emerges from life’s ever-changing journey.
