For Freciano his art is his life: “While I’m alive, my work is my life. My work starts from dreams. When I draw and paint I lie down at night to dream about the image. In the morning I get up and draw the image in the sand, to see if it is what I saw in my dreams.”

Freciano gains images for his art in the same way as he used to dream about the animal he was going to hunt.

Woolworths selected a painting by Freciano to print on their reusable plastic shopping bags. This was a huge honour for Freciano as 500 000 bags were sold throughout South Africa.

He was employed by the South African Defence Force as a tracker until the late 1980s, where he left the army to make a living from selling sets of bows, arrows and other traditional crafts.

When Namibia acquired independence in 1990, the South African Defence Force relocated members of the !Xun and Khwe communities to Schmidtsdrift in Northern Cape, South Africa.
