Read MoreBorn in Cameroon in 1992, Emmanuel Aziseh now lives and works in Marseille (France). Passionate about drawing from childhood, it was with his cousin Zunwa Eric that he had his first drawing lessons, which greatly influenced his artistic practice. Encouraged by his family, he joined an artistic training school "Académie Music'Art Eutherpe" in 2009 where he discovered a particular interest in painting. After this short training, he joined the Foumban Institute of Fine Arts (IBAF) in 2010 and then the University of Aix-Marseille in 2017.
Describing himself as a humanist, Aziseh builds his artistic approach by offering each time more assertive works. His commitments around human and universal values bring to his compositions a force which translates into a sense of aesthetics where realism rubs shoulders with symbolism. In a desire to abolish borders and deconstruct national identities that keep us apart, he takes the figure of the child as the spokesperson for a future that wants to be radiant through works that certainly sublimate beauty, but who also position themselves as awakening consciousness.
