SIRIGU “Anang” SERIES I named this series after a village in the Upper East region of Ghana which is about 800 kilometers from the capital of Ghana Accra. The particularity of this village is that women decorate the walls of the houses with murals representing abstract and stylized geometric animal shapes, most often in red, black and white shades. For this series, I was inspired by the ocher colors which tint the unique landscape around Sirigu and the Adinkra signs and symbols of Ghana which are found today on certain local fabrics and which hide secret meanings. For example, the turtle or Denkyem is a symbol of intelligence, the bird or Sankofa is a symbol of wisdom, the circles or Adinkrahene is a symbol of authority and charisma.

France  • 1971

Always nicknamed Calou, it was during a trip to Burkina Faso that what would become my nickname “Caloulabissa" appeared for the first time; The Bissa people live in West Africa. A Burkinabé friend named me that because certain traits of my character made him think of this people of farmers: “Calou la Bissa". Since then, I have adopted this name, it has become my signature.

I have always practiced painting in parallel with my main activity which, for more than 20 years, has been to support people with disabilities as an educator, artistic mediator and art therapist. Today, I devote a little less time to this activity to devote more time to painting.
