R. Bidounga | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

R. Bidounga
  • Senegal
R. Bidounga grew up in Brazzaville, capital of the Republic of Congo. Since his early childhood, he is passionate about drawing and scribbles everything he sees. He quickly became a neighborhood illustrator. His father noticed his talent and encouraged him in this direction. \After literary studies, he devoted himself entirely to painting and sought to create his own style. Attentive to his environment and lucid on the art market, he rubs shoulders with the great painters of his country. He refined his technique by participating in workshops and courses of the European Union in Congo. He quickly distinguished himself with a style between symbolism, cubism and abstraction. \For R. Bidounga all materials are good to exploit. With acrylic or oil paint, he transforms natural pigments, wood, fabrics, jute bags or raffia until he gets the perfect combination. He glues, peels and tears the canvas until complete satisfaction. His favorite themes are the African villages called Bibelo (homes) which tend to lose their soul. R.Bidounga is concerned about the threats suffered by his people. His work aims to draw attention to the richness of his culture and the need to protect it. He represents the hopes of his community through pictorial frescoes. His paintings tell the story of these populations (nbochis, massai, wollof...) threatened by the western civilization. Everything inspires him: the past, the present, the tradition and the nature. When he paints, R.Bidounga is as if pushed by a supernatural force. The best time to let his creativity flow is at night, when he is in symbiosis with the sounds of nature.
