About Sean
Sean Caulfield Was Born In England & Immigrated To South Africa With His Parents At The Age Of Two.
He showed a keen interest in art from an early age and excelled at high school where he painted landscapes, seascapes, portraits and abstracts in oils and acrylics. Upon matriculating at Sea Point Boys High School he received an award for excellence in art. His passion for being creative and talent was recognized and encouraged by the late Christian Prosser, who later became his mentor. Mr. Prosser offered to teach Sean everything he knew, refusing payment for his tuition. For the last three years of his life he guided Sean through all the finer techniques of painting. He became a great inspiration to Sean, who still holds a deep respect and appreciation for his expert guidance.

Sean Came Up With The Idea
of painting on a manufactured rocklike surface whilst working for Duncan Temple-Forbes, his late Godfather, where he learnt how to make rock water features. By compressing actual rock and crystal aggregate (sand-crystal and stone granules) into resin and then casting with fibreglass into a mould taken directly from the living rock of the local mountains he creates the special lightweight rocklike canvases for his unique works of art, mounting his art onto board and framing it too.
Using his unique rock moulding technique, he has also undertaken ” rock feature and cave building ” and has coordinated the design and construction of a 300 square meter cave inside ” Museum Africa” – Johannesburg, as well as a 100 square meter replica of the Cango Caves, in Oudtshoorn.
