Sénéchal-Senekal Is a very beautiful art gallery in Franschhoek. We went to visit the Gallery during our Roadtrip trough South Africa and were totally exited to have found such a beautiful place and unique art pieces during our trip.The artist has an impressing collection of local art inspired by the South African nature and wildlife.We bought a painting for my home in Germany, a perfect piece of art and special memory of our stay here.... A must visit when you come to Franschhoek .

Wether you consider yourself an “art fundi” or not - this art gallery in Franschoek is an absolute must see!I very nearly walked straight into the glass doors as I stared at all these stunning works of art hanging on the wall!There is something incredibly unique about Junaid’s paintings, the secret silver technique is what makes his work stand out from the crowd. You need to get up close and personal to really appreciate the effect it has. The way the light catches it at different angels creates a stunning effect depending on the angle you look at it.This is the kind of art I can see hanging in my own home, they arewhat I’d call “show stoppers”, because you cannot walk past without your eyes automatically fixing onto it.The artist himself is as easy to talk to as if you’d known him all your life. He is incredibly humble and down to earth, which is something that really resonates through his work.Do yourself a favor, and visit the gallery, put it in your itinerary, and make sure you pencil in enough time as you are going to want to take in all the beauty.

A gem of an art gallery in a picturesque town. Not only was I impressed in the versatality of the artist, but was pleasantly surprised and intriqued by his special silver technique which captivates you and surprises you when viewed ftom different angles. Whether looking for something for the bedroom or kitchen...you will definitely find something youll like in his wide selection of modern artworks. From wildlife with beautifully captured personalities till dancing ballerinas that makes you wanna dance along till vibrant abstract works and figures.

We have been to the gallery from Junaid several times. Every time we are amazed about the paintings he makes. They are really one of a kind and always very special to look at them.. You can tell he makes the paintings with a lot of passion and love. Also the details are fenomenal. We are very fortunate to have 2 paintings in our home town. So if you are in Franschhoek, a visit to his gallery is a must!

Arguably one of the most beautiful and astonishing pieces of artwork can be found at this art gallery, the Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery. If you are visiting the old French town of Franschhoek in Cape Town; and want to be blown away, I would definitely recommend that you stop by at this art gallery! Whether you’re viewing or looking to buy, this place is a little slice of heaven!

I fell in love instantly, the minute I laid my eyes on Junaid’s artwork. The Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery showcases his unique pieces, all individual, authentic and mind-blowing. The word that best describes his work is: REAL. And when you meet the artist himself, you’ll find that this word resonates so perfectly with him too. He is genuine, friendly, down-to-earth... REAL. When you look at the artwork, it’s not just a piece of canvas- every piece has layers of depth. From the eyes of the animals, to the movement of the ballerinas, to the warmth of the human faces. Absolutely beautiful! This art gallery is a MUST VISIT! ❤️❤️❤️

Junaid has an eye that sees through the mist and reveals the unique depth and mystery of Africa through his careful caress of paint and brush. Dare I say it, but years from now his name will be spoken in the same breath as Irma Stern and Esther Mahlangu 👌🏿

One of the most beautiful art galleries to visit worldwide, has to be the Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery! When you are there, you are most likely to bump into the world renown artist himself, Junaid. A definite place to tick off your bucket list when visiting South Africa!

We absolutely adore Franschhoek but especially love the galleries in town, with Sénéchal-Senekal Art Gallery being one of our favorites. We often visit the town for a weekend away and without fail we have to pop into the gallery to see what is new! Junaid’s art is breathtaking and unique and right from the first time that we saw his paintings were were blown away! His artwork never fails to disappoint! I think what sets him aside from others is his silver layering technique. A special treat is when the artist, Junaid, is in the gallery! Well worth a visit!!

During the beautifull South African summer we did spend some days in Franschhoek.During our walks through the city center our eye caught the gallery of Senechal Senekal.We were walking straight into the doors and I only focussee on the beautifull paintings on the wall and outside the shop. We were fortunate to meet the artist himself Junaid.We couldn’t believe the different colours. We have never seen the silver technique as used by Junaid  and it seems that every minute the colours changed and it looked a different painting.It was incredible to see the level of detail in the different paintings whether it was the South African animals or the ballerinas. The  various paintings of Christiano Ronaldo were like photos. In a word fantastic.But one painting was immediately our favorite. The Australian koala. You saw the love of the artist for this species in the eyes of the Koala. The story behind every painting is unimaginable.Ask in the gallery for the stories of the painted animals. Especially  ask about the story of the elephant Sally.You need to buy, you want to buy. And when you buy, you know for sure that you have something unique in your home. Unique in painting technique, unique in colors and unique in details.Thank you Junaid for bringing pleasure into our lives. We daily enjoy your paintings and we can recommend everyone to pay a visit to the gallery. You will not be disappointed.
