Sarita Gous is a contemporary fine artist based in Ermelo, Mpumalanga, with 17 years dedicated to painting and exploring the beauty, energy and emotion of the natural world.
Her work centres around large-scale cloudscapes and seascapes, inspired by the ocean, clouds, light and moments of stillness, created to bring beauty, depth and presence to interior spaces.
When she paints, Sarita enters a space of stillness, allowing emotion and energy to flow onto the canvas. Each brushstroke carries intention, creating artworks that are not only seen, but felt.
For Sarita, art is about peace, connection and upliftment. She hopes each painting becomes more than something beautiful on a wall—a presence that inspires, reconnects and invites the viewer to pause and simply feel.
At Ghorbany, we have always believed that the most meaningful spaces are created when art, culture, craftsmanship, and human stories come together.
It is therefore with great excitement that we announce the beginning of a collaboration with acclaimed contemporary artist Thandazani Ndlovu and his wife, an extraordinary jazz vocalist whose powerful stage presence has earned her the reputation of being a true diva.
Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Thandazani Ndlovu has become one of Southern Africa’s most distinctive contemporary figurative and impressionist artists. Celebrated for his remarkable reverse-painting technique—building luminous white forms from deep black surfaces—his works reveal emotion, movement, and humanity emerging from darkness into light. His paintings are instantly recognizable and deeply moving.
Marlene Liebenberg who is the incredible creative behind this stunning piece currently showcased in our Ghorbany Benmore Gallery
Marlene is a sculptor based in Jefferys Bay working primarily in polyester resin. Her practice began in plasticine clay.
She shaped each piece by hand before moulding and casting into something that feels physical and lasting.
Her work often draws from memory. She aims to translate fleeting human moments into lasting forms.
The sculpture we have is called: “PROUD UNSHAKEN LOOKING FORWARD."
'Her chin remained lifted her gaze fixed on the horizon.
She refused to look down at the pieces that had fallen away.
She endured pressure without surrendering to it.
The missing fragments no longer define her, the strength that remained did.'
Johannesburg-based contemporary artist working from her studio at August House.
Melissa explores colour, memory and the sensory experience of the natural world through painting. Her work moves between florals, landscapes and abstraction — capturing the emotional experience of place, not just how it looks.
Working intuitively in oil, acrylic, ink and mixed media, she builds layered pieces through colour, erasure and expressive mark-making. Flowers, gardens, water, changing skies and everyday moments become the starting point.
Before painting, Melissa trained in Theatre and Performance at UCT and worked professionally as an actress in theatre, film and television. That performance background still shapes the physicality and emotional immediacy of her work.
Her recent practice explores beauty, memory, motherhood and place.

A Connoisseur’s Convergence of Geometric Blind Fretwork, Regal Velvet-Lined Display, and Turn-of-the-Century Salon Elegance - An exceptional glazed collector's vitrine table boasting a detailed blind fretwork frieze, slender tapering legs with corner bracket supports, and a functional central under tier shelf.
This exceptional Edwardian Chippendale Revival bijouterie table captures the absolute peak of late 19th and early 20th-century gallery elegance.
Selected for its purposeful glazed form, deep ebonised earthen tone timber, and exceptional openwork carving, it serves as a spectacular presentation station to house high-luxury jewellery collections, rare estate artifacts, or choice antiquities beside a masterfully styled seating arrangement.
The piece is masterfully built with a primary structure of select mahogany finished in a sophisticated deep ebonised tone, displaying an exquisite contrast against the treasures contained within.

The main vitrine compartment features a hinged, top-lifting glazed panel that opens to reveal its original deep crimson velvet-lined presentation bed, historically favoured by aristocratic collectors to absorb ambient reflection and emphasize the brilliance of contents inside. Curated openwork fret brackets stabilize each upper corner angle with precision. Boasting a wonderfully deep, historic patina achieved only through generations of dedicated gallery care, this multi-tier anchor pairs brilliantly with an adjacent lounge.

An Investment-Grade Masterpiece of Louis XV Grace and Gilt-Bronze Artistry - An exceptional, glass-fronted vitrine table showcasing continuous ormolu leaf trims, a rich velvet lining, and high-swept cabriole legs.
Hand-crafted in France during the late 19th-century peak of the Belle Époque revival movement, this exquisite rosewood bijouterie (display vitrine) table represents the pinnacle of Louis XV elegance. Selected for its light-filled geometry, rich timbers, and exquisite cast metal work, it functions as a spectacular, intimate gallery station designed to securely house and highlight your finest collectibles, estate jewellery, or fine cobalt porcelain tea services.
The table is masterfully constructed from close-grained, premium French rosewood, displaying an incredibly vibrant amber-chocolate lustre developed over more than a century of hand-waxing.
