In Candja Candja, Primitive Reason, I begin from the need to reconnect with my African roots as an act of introspection, creation and artistic self-determination. For me, primitive reason does not represent a return to a fixed or closed past, but rather an opportunity to reconnect with an ancestral, spiritual and cultural dimension that continues to permeate my present.

Through painting, I seek to reconnect with this dimension and explore a pictorial harmony nourished by ancestral and contemporary African cultures. I revisit the past through the lens of contemporaneity, transforming memory, spirituality and ancestry into materials for artistic creation and subversion.

The spiritual musicality that accompanies my creative process also becomes a structuring presence throughout this journey, building bridges between past and present while guiding me towards futurity. Candja Candja, Primitive Reason is therefore a return to my roots, not as an exercise in nostalgia, but as a strategy of affirmation, reinvention and the construction of new possibilities for the present and the future.
