Ramier Rachidi Vita

I am a contemporary visual artist and painter based in Johannesburg, South Africa, originally from Kinshasa, DRC and Luanda (ANGOLA) I hold a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa and a Diploma in Graphic Advertising and Design from Damelin College Johannesburg. My artistic practice focuses mainly on realism through oil and acrylic painting, allowing me to express powerful ideas, emotions, and social themes through visual storytelling.

I am the creator of the ongoing contemporary art project called #BlackUnique, a body of work that celebrates African originality, authenticity, culture, and spirituality. Through portraits and realistic compositions, I aim to highlight the beauty and identity of African people while challenging modern standards that often disconnect individuals from their natural identity and cultural roots.

My work reflects humanity, contemporary African realities, and the emotional depth of personal and collective experiences. I am passionate about creativity, visual communication, and artistic excellence, and I continuously seek opportunities to grow, collaborate, and inspire through art.

I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa between 2010 and 2013, followed by a Diploma in Graphic Advertising and Design from Damelin College Johannesburg between 2016 and 2017. Prior to that, I completed my Matric Certificate at the Académie des Beaux-Arts from 2005 to 2010.
