For me, design is a creative process that is the basis of everything. In my work I bring my thoughts to life, I present my own vision of things.

Who am I ?

Self-taught Beninese artist, I started as a photographer in 2016 at Medusartstudio and was the 2018 winner of the Best photographic collaboration Award at the African festival FESTIFLASH. I have since moved on to film as photo director & cinematographer and since 2020 have embarked on the adventure of 2D and 3D motion design.

NFT Journey

Part of « Identity » the first virtual Exhibition of the 1mA Collective in June/July 2021 with 4 other artists, I was honored to participate in the First physical NFT exhibition in Africa. Organized by the Cyber Baat Artists’ DAO in Dakar (Senegal), the show featured 23 african creators physically at the Jendalmart Gallery and digitally on Foundation.app in September 2021 (curator: Linda Dounia).

I have been selected for the first-ever Digital Art Fair Asia with one NFT artwork entitled « Guardian » presented to the public from October 3 to 22, 2021 in Hong Kong.
