Hyacinthe Ouattara

20 September 2022

Hyacinthe Ouattara was born in 1981 in Burkina Faso and lives and works in Paris, France.

A self-taught artist, Hyacinthe Ouattara first represented the human body in a dreamlike, ghostly and childlike way before penetrating its entrails and focusing his work on the anatomy of cellular tissues through his “human cartographies”.

Matter, texture and colour are of great importance in his paintings. His drawings are spontaneous, gestural and question the human being.

This year, the artists work was part of the Dakar Biennale and the Kinshasa Biennale.
