About

Introduction
Riaan Wilmans Art and Design Studio, situated in Pretoria, South Africa, specialises in book design and visual art, catering to clients globally, with a focus on self-publishing authors, trade publishers, university presses, business owners, interior designers, interior architects, architects, art collectors, and art galleries.

Background and Experience
Boasting over a decade of experience in Visual Art within private studio practice, Riaan honed his expertise to include print and digital design, culminating in a BTech in Multimedia obtained in 2012.

Personal Story
Equipped with a BTech in Multimedia and a decade of experience as Visual Artist, Riaan accrued further invaluable expertise across diverse domains: as a Graphic Artist in Landscape Architecture, as a Graphic Designer in Advertising, briefly as a Graphic Design Lecturer in Higher Education, and as Graphic Designer in Publishing. This wealth of experience paved the way for establishing his enterprise.

Clientele and Achievements
Presently Riaan collaborates with three eminent Social Science publishers: HSRC in South Africa, Royal Collins in China, and Boydell & Brewer in the United Kingdom.

Riaan’s visual art practice culminated in an art exhibition at Trent Gallery in Pretoria in 2019 titled ‘Visibility’. The available artwork can be seen in the shop section of this website.

Riaan’s graphic design services are highly recommended in a letter of recommendation by HSRC where he has become their ‘go-to designer’ for their most prestigious titles: ‘State of the Nation’ and ‘Voices of Liberation’. He has also been featured in an interview by Radio 702, representing book cover design specialists in South Africa.
