ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Photo taken in Douala in "a kind" of slums of "BANGUE", where I grew up and where I very often go back on vacation to recharge my batteries. I took this child squatting under the sun, having lunch with a slice of chocolate. At his age I was in the same situation. Sitting on the floor, a slice of chocolate was the best we could have and we were delighted. It was for us the best meal we could have as children, so it was "the perfect lunch". This photograph is kind of part of my story that I share.

AUTHOR
An artist in search of raw truth, this explorer of the human soul captures the singular essence of imperfection, where every spontaneity and every imperfect act reveals a striking beauty. Influenced by the emotional depth of Bacon, the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, the visual power of Mapplethorpe, and Van Gogh’s obsession with freedom, he challenges conventions by boldly addressing taboo subjects with a sometimes unsettling audacity.

Unclassified and untamed, his art draws from a visceral freedom, with each work uncompromisingly exploring the hidden nuances of the human spirit. His portraits and scenes, straddling the edge of surrealism, blend monochrome minimalism with bursts of color, capturing silence and mystery in intense compositions where shadow and light dance with unflinching sincerity.
