What an absolute privilege and honour to have met with this incredibly talented man as well as visit the inspiring Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery in Franschhoek and to top it all off to actually see behind the scenes in his art studio where all the magic happens. His passion and drive to impact this world and create a global awareness of the beauty of our planet transcends through every creation and artwork that he is inspired to paint. With a mission to create an awareness of creation and some of our very endangered species across the globe. I have been watching his journey for many years now and he is just such an inspiration to me and to so many. His transformation through the years has been phenomenal. Junaid always answers the clients brief with excellence and his business ethic is superb. His interaction with the animals he paints really brings them to life in his paintings. He actually physically interacts with many of them before painting them and so there is such an authenticity to his work. Not only is Junaid a gifted artist but he is the most generous loving and kind man and his truth is revealed through his art. He has generously donated many paintings to our Annual Auction for our NPO which has raised much needed funding that contributes towards enabling us to do the community outreach which we do in our Paarl valley. He also gives back to many wildlife organisations and the community around him. When next you visit the Franschhoek Valley be sure to pop into Junaid’s Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery, or go online to check out his work on jssartgallery.com it is an absolute must see. Kind regards Jenni Cubitt…

Definitely a gem of a gallery with a WOW factor! Junaid's modern artworks are very unique with a feeling of luxury and keeps you captivated with his special silver technique that is quite fascinating with a surprise element when viewed from different angles. Photos do not give justice to his art since one can't really capture the depth and dimensions. A lot of his personality are being portrayed or shows in some of the works. The personalities of the animals are beautifully captured in his animal paintings. Some works are vibrant and bold and lively, but somehow you still sense a feeling of tranquility in his creations. Indeed a versatile artist, so you will definitely find something suitable for each room of your house or corporate space. His ballerina paintings gives you a feeling of excitement...you almost wanna dance along. Gracious and stylish.…

I am so glad I discovered this art gallery in the heart of Franschoek. The art is unique and exquisite and the artist, Junaid, is talented and inspirationally artistic. He finds a way to create art that speaks to you on a personal level. His novel technique captures your attention and the piece transforms in the light. I've attached a photo of an abstract piece that blended into my room and personality perfectly. His art has added warmth, emotion and depth to our home. Photos do it no justice.…
