Artwork location: France
With his first exhibition Kaze (“wind" in Japanese), he offers a reflection on the wind as a metaphor for movement and change, a necessary passage to transform and move forward.
He developed his practice of drawing, then painting, as a sensitive language through which he explores what cannot be expressed in words.
In this vein, he created Béna, a hybrid alphabet inspired by Bété (an ethnic group from Ivory Coast) and Japanese, extending his exploration of identity and language.
His portraits, conceived as encounters, reveal presences marked by inner strength and a spiritual dimension. Nourished by his travels and by a dialogue between cultures, his work lies at the crossroads of his Ivorian roots and his Asian influences.

KOBENA
An Akan name, originating from the peoples of southern Ivory Coast and Ghana, is given according to the day of birth. Born on a Tuesday in Paris, he became Kobena. What sealed this choice was its unexpected resonance with certain Japanese pronouns: in a single word, his two artistic worlds converge.
His practice began with portraits, mostly of women, rendered in earthy tones. This became his signature. His travels in Asia revealed profound similarities with Africa, and it became natural for him to weave these two worlds together in a single vision.
A SILENT DIALOGUE
STRENGTH & PEACE, UNITED
Painting is a therapeutic space for him, a zone of expression he doesn't always find elsewhere. He discovers each face by painting it, like getting to know someone. In the end, he gives it a name that comes to him in the moment.
He seeks portraits that convey strength in the gaze and gentleness in the attitude: two qualities that are thought to be opposites, and which, held together, become something whole.
