Wamba Sand Painting

Biography

The sand is having fun, the colors too!

Holder of a Master in Visual Arts (ÉDHÉA) and a License in Visual Arts and History of the Arts; I position myself as a strolling artist who, through photography, aims to document everyday scenes and images. This documentation will subsequently be a crucial basis for my artistic creations.

In my work, I use art as a means to fight against discrimination in order to promote community life and intercultural exchange.

This is how I set up an artistic approach consisting of juxtaposing and meticulously gluing colored grains of sand onto a surface (canvas, paper, polystyrene, wood).

 Its grains symbolize individuals from all walks of life in our society. The fact of juxtaposing them, putting them together reflects this desire to promote unity, intercultural exchange in diversity, which is seen as an inestimable wealth for real social cohesion.
