Mamadou Ballo

MAMADOU BALLO is an Ivorian auto-didact artist whose creative spirit is guided by a deep commitment to ecology and humanity. For over 20 years, he has transformed recycled materials into therapeutic artworks, breathing new life into discarded items.

With a humble yet passionate personality, BALLO dedicates himself to raising environmental consciousness, celebrating beauty in imperfection, and renewal in the abandoned.
