Jaco Joubert is a self-taught artist, born 1973 and raised in Cape Town, South Africa.
He has had a passion since a very young age for drawing, portraits and capturing real people on paper.
In 1996 Jaco spent three months in Dortmund, Germany where he spent three nights per week at the VHS (art school) to see and learn how things work in Europe. He was encouraged by the art teacher to continue with his passion for drawing portraits.
Jaco now does portraits only and his favourite medium is charcoal, chalk and pencil.
He has a passion for African people and does tribal drawings of people from all over Africa.

He also does portraits to order of loved ones, family or friends and even your pets.

Jaco studied Engineering after school but decided to move into the food industry as a career which he did for the last eleven years but was involved in a car accident in 2009 that forced him to leave the food industry and is now doing what he loves most, being a full time portrait artist
