It's all a question of point of view
Coco MOBULI
Organic
Coco Mobuli Mangbanzo is a visual artist born on December 24, 1974 in Kinshasa. Nicknamed "Mobuli" by his friends, he was deeply influenced by "Papa Ngombo," a painter from his neighborhood who took him under his wing, providing him with materials and teaching him painting techniques. This passion naturally led him to enroll at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa, from which he graduated in 2000. His art, both idealistic and spiritual, is articulated around the Congolese cultural heritage, with symbols subtly integrated into his paintings, testifying to his mastery and his attachment to his roots.
Approche artistique
Moving with ease from figurative to abstract painting, MOBULI's work is surprisingly diverse. However, a common thread deeply rooted in his inspiration and certain recurring elements bring a unique coherence to his creations, giving them a distinctive style. As part of a symbolic movement, MOBULI expresses his attachment to African cultural values, particularly through the almost permanent presence of masks in his work. It is clear that the artist seeks to encourage each viewer to interpret his or her creations freely, according to his or her own sensibility.
