Papytsho Mafolo

Democratic Republic of Congo • 1977

Biography

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1977, the work of Pitsho Mafolo experiments with new styles and techniques after research, during new artistic encounters, or during numerous artistic residencies, the results of which are reflected by the energy that emerges from his works.

In practice, his techniques usually involve a collage of gold leaf, printed images, acrylic but also oil paint and unfinished lines on canvas. These unfinished lines, according to Mafolo, evoke an infinite world, but they also remind him that artistically, the field of possibilities is unlimited.

Mafolo's works are part of the permanent collections of UNESCO (France), the Rotary Club (Kinshasa), Shell (Kinshasa), the private collection of the King of Jordan and the presidential collection of DR Conglose.
