Not since the advent of the camera has something come along to change the very fabric of art making’s possibilities on such a grand scale as digital art. In its most distilled essence, digital art encapsulates an artistic work or practice that uses any form of digital technology as part of its creation or presentation.
Although digital art is not recognized as a distinct
movement in and of itself, as technology continues its jackrabbit fast bloom into contemporary society, we will no doubt continue to see it unfold into a myriad, ever-changing landscape,
solidifying itself as a credible alternative to traditional means of art making for a post-millennial society.

Maxime Manga started to explore digital collage as a new art form in 2016. The artist manipulates imagery sampled from
disparate sources - fashion magazines, photography, traditional African arts, botanical images etc. In a departure from the artist’s earlier collages with their highly critical, dark and
confrontational themes, there is a renewed optimism and positive energy inherent in this new body of work.
“BE WHO YOU ARE” explores the possibilities and vibrant
imagery of an emerging Africa, a continent in motion, in
transition from ancient traditions and rituals to high tech
powered innovation. Manga effortlessly captures the viewer through his boundless imagination and positive vision for the African continent.
