Il y a beacoup de façons de donner vie aux dessins d’un enfant, voici celles que j’ai utilisées le plus souvent pour les dessins de mon fils.
Rainbow over the Netherlands Painting
This is a new painting I made based on a child’s drawing. This time it’s a 4 year old dutch boy who drew a rainbow who inspired me, in turn, to paint a rainbow of textures.
A Christmas Story Painting
This is another painting I did starting from a child’s drawing. It’s the drawing of a 5 year old boy. I love his style, he makes very detailed and delicate drawings.
Journey of Initiation – Little Drummer Boy Painting
This new painting is inspired by the Christmas Carol with the same name, Little Drummer Boy.
The tribe – Family Portrait Painting
FriBoy made this drawing of us for my birthday and I was inspired to paint it like this after I saw an exhibition, The Boomerang Effect at the Ethnographic Museum of Geneva. It’s my favorite place in Switzerland and I wanted to spend my birthday there.
Journey of Initiation – FriBoy Meets Hospoa
This is a new painting, or visual story how I like to call it, in my journey of initiation series.
Journey of Initiation – Travel to Burkina Fasso
I made this painting after I finished a bogolan cloth workshop with Burkina Fasso artist Momoudou Bolly.
The Conquest of Paradise
My art is always social. I strongly believe that art is one of the most powerful instruments to address social and political issues and that it should be used as a civic instrument. The aesthetics are important for the human eye but it’s the message that stays with people.
