As revealed in the painting, Andre Naudé is a colourist by nature, who prides himself primarily with the process of painting. His topic often is a crosscultural merge of object and the human form. To quote Lucia Burger: 'Above all Andre Naudé is a Flirt. He cannot resist the seduction of forms and textures. Colour is for him the essence of the diversity, richness and the very soul of the Life of objects, nature and humanity. In his paintings, he handles the issues relating to culture with a panache that would make politicians blush. He refers to certain symbols and icons in a language which is unique and exclusively his own. He uses paint on any surface with the assurance and dexterity of a magician and allows colours to compliment each other, blend and oppose with the confidence of an accomplished lover'.
