South African singer and songwriter Tyla has taken the world by storm with her chart-topping hits, blending the rhythms of amapiano with her enchanting voice. But there’s more to her than just music. Her creativity doesn’t stop at sound; she’s also a master of visual artistry. Whether she’s crafting vibrant imagery in her music videos or sharing jaw-dropping visuals on her social media, it’s clear this young star is multi-talented.
Take her music video “ART”, for instance. It’s not just a music video; it’s a feast for the eyes. The singer is in an ornate gallery, posing freely and dancing to the upbeat track. In this masterpiece, Tyla takes centre stage as both the painter and the muse. She paints a portrait that appears to be of herself, pouring her passion into every brushstroke while singing her heart out. The video transforms a gallery into a dynamic space for storytelling, blending themes of self-expression and creativity. Watching Tyla navigate this interplay is magical—it’s the perfect showcase of her dual artistry.
Before her career took off in the States, Tyla shared a stunning self-portrait on Twitter, captioning it, “Self-portrait made out of my kisses💋(sadly don’t have a final photo)💔.” She used nothing but her lips and lipstick to create a vibrant, textured image of her face, and her followers reacted by appreciating her talent. @astroNyong tweeted, “Now you’re indeed an artist.” At the same time, @ForvaZeo jokingly asked, “When will this be auctioned? Asking for a friend.” Chloe also joined the conversation, saying, “This is such a beautiful concept, so amazing.”
Tyla’s artwork continues to shine through in her posts, with another fan sharing a painting she did of her heartwarming smile. Her use of colour and texture to capture the essence of her personality connects deeply with her followers, showcasing her ability to combine art and authenticity in a way that feels personal and inviting.
Her fans are also celebrating her multifaceted talent, not only for her musical achievements but for her accomplishments outside of music. One fan shared a tweet highlighting Tyla’s academic success, highlighting that this star’s creativity gifted.
Tyla’s artistry goes far beyond her amapiano hits. Whether belting out songs or crafting vivid artwork, she’s proving to be a multi-dimensional talent. From her creative music videos to her self-made artwork, Tyla’s ability to blend her passion for music with her love for visual art is what truly sets her apart. With each new release and each brushstroke, Tyla is cementing her place as one of South Africa’s most exciting and innovative artists.
