Definitely one of the artists of the contemporary international African scene.

His works are sold at auction, he makes the front page of the Gazette de Drouot. The Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art in Washington acquires one of his paintings, Entitled Sunshine Line. Of Fon descent, Tchif Tchiakpe is immersed in an authentic culture. Apart from all the codes that we know, its universal creativity touches with its power, its liveliness, its generosity. Abstract art allows him to reveal a total universe, without any known limit. Inexhaustible and cyclical, Tchif Tchiakpe expresses his power and inscribes stratified lines on his canvases, successive passages on Earth. The enigma of life described through: discreet, invented symbols, imaginary figures cryptograms, shadows, diluted shapes, teeming animals, margouillats, shards of matter, residual substances, strong and varied pigments ...: this abstract osmosis, we soothes, and shifts us for a few moments from a known world without unknowns leaving little room for border universes. Reminding us of the ferocity and the enigmatic beauty of the jungle: of life.
