ARTIST’S STATEMENT
In my work, I examine ordinary occurrences within the material and immaterial spheres, in interrelation with society and the individual. I adopt a figurative approach, drawing inspiration from the age-old paradigm of the Bantu people. In my creations, I am guided by instinct and improvisation. The aim of my work is to question humanity within society and create a resonance between the viewer and their environment, enabling each person to apprehend it in their own way. I am influenced by artists such as Jenny Saville, Caravaggio, Gustave Courbet, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose imprints can be felt in my artistic approach. My aim is to immerse people in my artistic universe.

This work symbolizes the memory of the lost souls in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where genocide continues to this day due to natural resources. To date, more than 10 million souls have been lost. It depicts a hand holding a white flower that has turned red from the bloodshed. The three colors represent the Congolese flag. The black background symbolizes the mourning and despair of the inhabitants of the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The narrow red stripe symbolizes the indifference of the international community, which observes the bloodshed without intervening. Death serves as a resting place for souls that have suffered for many years.
