NATURA
100cm x 81cm – Mixed media on French linen, 2023
Cyril Kongo is an artist who always has a passion for exploration. Being able to travel to many lands and explore many different cultures is a way to help him renew his energy and find inspiration for his colorful works.
The work "Natura" celebrates the joy of being immersed in trips, connecting with cultures and people in strange lands. The painting sparkles like a kaleidoscope filled with colors, symbols and motifs. A series of names of places which he has visited such as Bali, Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok,... are beautifully stylized through masterful graffiti techniques, hidden letters, and unique color performances. Each brushstroke tells a story of encounters, discoveries, and shared experiences that enrich the soul and broaden the mind. Through his artistic language, Kongo invites viewers to embark on their own journey of discovery, embracing new perspectives and embracing the richness of a world united in diversity.
