Art Projects

In this body of work I focus on the particular visions which my journeys and long stays overseas have left in my mind. I also dedicated a show in Manhattan to the concept "a map is not the territory", with which I want to enhance the memory, the tact or gut experience above the rational narrative.

Go to Gallery 1 to explore the works connected.

Not just thanks to my job as diplomat, I have developed a natural curiosity and passion about politics, which brings me to regular reading and debating. What I see happening in the world is worrying as far as shrinking democratic structures, repeating use of force, fragility of human rights and thwarting true self-determination. In my own way I cannot avoid to share certain visions of my fear of a civil war in US rather than preoccupation for the climate change. Go to Gallery 3 to delve into such issues in a way you have never seen before.

I have enjoyed a lot to work on 3D prints of objects that I fancy, the aim being mainly to add a contemporary and post-digital patina to African ethnic art. Try see if Mock trophy resonates for you, or rather take a look at Ebo statuette.

This body of work is dedicated to the inner adventure aimed at reaching down to the most hidden part of my own unconscious. It's a land brittle and slippery by definition. I hope you can somehow leave the judgement behind and just feel a link to the magic and the untold of that imagery.

Go to Gallery 2 to explore and to put yourself to test.

According to my experience, creation is linked to an act of faith and a rite. This is where the artist accompanies you across from rationality to a no man's land that exists before meaninglessness and sheer awe. Beauty cannot just happen by virtuous decoration and demands a challenge, a query out of the comfort zone. In different works I have portrayed myself as a shaman holding on his shoulder a whole building and hushing the onlooker, I have glimpsed children born by antelopes and black boys eaten up by a crocodile. Please have a go to Gallery 4 to find out why, what is that you feel, can you share the lingering magic, is it not too ephemeral?

Stay tuned for more projects to come!
