One of my favorite mangas growing up was “the twins of destiny”. In French, it translates as “Les Jumeaux du bout du monde”. The picture that inspired this image is that of a little girl looking exactly like the one(s) in this illustration. She is however vested differently, and of a different complexion. I thought of giving her a twin aesthetically identical to her but inherently different per her complexion, hair and color taste. Also, being that i to some extent reject mimesis, Mondrian “Composition II” in red blue and yellow, help emphasize my different take on the original piece. I hope this piece makes you feel happy per it's very colorful nature & happy memories. I paint Digitally for I constantly seek freedom; freedom of expression, freedom of mobility. As such, I prefer a medium that allows me to paint on the go. I chose this subject matter for it relates my background; i am Franco- Cameroonian & through my art explore my African origins. I invite you to see Africa per my lenses. I make art that brings light to my experience & resonates with people similar to me. I narrate through art, words and sounds the black experience and the untold stories of my African peers due to a lack of (positive) representation. My culture is often misunderstood, misrepresented, abused and usurped. I am here to reclaim it’s glory and pains; I intend to give tribute and love to the many rites & customs within the African continent. I create patterns/fabrics that relate to my experience & as such I reflect various textures such as raffia or kente cloth as I see fit. It starts with a feeling or a song. I choose the background fabric or color then I think of characters who complement both the feelings & the background. My art is Love & I hope you can take some of it with you I do not have a specific style yet as i am very new to painting, and my expression is so free that it may drastically vary from piece to piece.
