Pintura Place du marché por Lama Niankoye | Pintura Figurativo Life style Acrílico

Niankoye's artistic journey began in his hometown N'zérékoré on the southern side of the Republic of Guinea. His passion for drawing and painting led him to go to the National School of Fine Arts in Conakry (the capital) in the 70's. With a degree in graphic arts, he attended various workshops and experimented with different techniques. Very attentive to the world of shapes and colours, he began by passionately copying nature. He travelled in his own country, to the Ivory Coast and finally to France, where he moved in 1990. He worked as a designer, illustrator and fashion designer, but soon decided to devote himself to painting. Travelling and discoveries opened other perceptions of the world to him and gave him a new vision of art. He was freed from traditional constraints and has leaned towards contemporary art since 2000, and has finally thrived in his abstract creations.
