Philippe Niago

Philippe Niago, born in 1998, is a contemporary French-Senegalese painter. His work focuses on portraits and figures, created with pastels and acrylics on canvas. He draws inspiration from everyday life, capturing personal moments with a vibrant palette. He creates a contrast on the canvas: acrylics are used for the background, while the figures are rendered in oil pastels. He emphasizes this contrast through the use of complementary colors. With his pastel strokes, he depicts visual stories, retracing and sharing the depth of his experiences, while simultaneously immortalizing the dynamism of the world around him. His creations are thus artistic testimonies that blend past and present, expressing the unique character of his artistic identity.
