Dora Prévost is a Congolese sculptor who began her artistic journey in 2014. She now resides in Johannesburg, South Africa, with her family. Dora uses her art as a powerful means to speak out against social issues close to her heart, such as injustice, identity struggles, child abuse, and women's empowerment.
For Dora, femininity is a boundless source of inspiration, with each woman possessing a unique and complex story that requires an artist's sensitivity to capture its essence. Her works of art explore contrasts between physical, emotional, and spiritual realms, as well as between love and hatred, dignity and shame, and fragility and strength. She aims to express the sensitivity and beauty of women by challenging gender-based violence and stereotypes.
Dora's sculptures have universal appeal, shedding light on the challenges faced by women and children across the globe. She is a fearless and adventurous artist, working with a variety of materials, including clay, bronze, concrete, resin plaster, and mixed media. Her artistic journey has been unconventional, with a passion for exploration and an eye for the beauty of textures.
