Biosense South Africa: Embracing Our Roots – Supporting Local Artists
Remember our Christmas packaging in 2021? We are stepping it up this year to a new level. Biosense is going back to its roots in more ways than hair care. Our roots are important to us, and so is creativity. As a South African company, we are giving back to our community by enriching not only hair, but the creative people of our city.
We have chosen four young artists In Grade 11 from a local school in Johannesburg to paint the artwork for the covers for our 2022 Christmas box covers.

Inspiration No 1 -Johannesburg Skyline
Johannesburg, also known as eGoli, is the most populous city in South Africa, and the provincial capital of Gauteng Province. The city is affectionately known as ‘Jo'burg’, ‘Jozi’ and ‘JHB’ by South Africans.
The Artist
Saraswati Saijal Pather’s grandmother introduced her to art and she loves anything creative whether it be music, acting or dancing. She has a very deep connection with art and she says it has helped her through almost every aspect of her life.

Inspiration No 2 -Bo-kaap
The Bo-Kaap is an area of Cape Town that was formerly a racially segregated area. When the apartheid was lifted, the new owners painted their houses in bright colours as an expression of their freedom.
The Artist
Venturous Skull values anonymity in their private life as they feel their art transcends society’s expectations. You can follow their art on instagram: venturous_skull.
