About The Artwork
In the grim era of human zoos, also known as ethnological expositions, individuals were publicly exhibited in a degrading portrayal of their so-called "natural" or "primitive" state. Six decades ago, Belgium inaugurated the 1958 World Fair, a grand 200-day spectacle celebrating postwar progress in society, culture, and technology. This event marked a sorrowful milestone as the world's final "human zoo," where humans were exhibited like curiosities. Amid this backdrop of dehumanization and exploitation, Ota Benga's tragic life story unfolds, serving as a poignant reminder of the depths of human cruelty and the enduring spirit's quest for freedom and dignity.

Listed in AKOUN.com database In recent years, my primary artistic focus has centered on cultivating a fresh and contemporary style. Concurrently, I've been on a journey to identify a theme that can give rise to a distinct artistic voice. This exploration has led to the creation of the 'Portraits of Life' series, inspired by authentic stories. Through my artwork, I aim to illuminate the existence of marginalized individuals, particularly children. I seek to convey the authenticity of their reality while granting them an expressive identity. My ultimate goal is to evoke an emotional response from viewers, allowing them to navigate their own feelings without imposing preconceived notions. Currently residing in France. My artwork can be found in private collections world wide.
