Adokou Sana Kokouvi, a talented artist hailing from Togo, was born in the year 1986. His artistic journey has been marked by a profound connection to the people and stories of Burkina Faso, where he has resided and worked since 2010. Within the vibrant cultural tapestry of this West African nation, Adokou has found the inspiration and passion that fuel his creative endeavors.
His artistic pursuits have been diverse, encompassing the realms of calligraphy, screen printing, and drawing. Adokou's commitment to honing these skills reflects his dedication to artistic craftsmanship. Yet, his artistic vision extends far beyond mere technical mastery; it seeks to capture the essence of the human experience, particularly within the marginalized and forgotten segments of Burkinabè society.
Adokou's artistic muse is partially drawn from his admiration for the iconic Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose work serves as a wellspring of inspiration. Much like Basquiat, Adokou endeavors to stage the stories of those who are often overlooked, offering a poignant portrayal of the neglected facets of Burkinabè society. Through the medium of painting, he endeavors to bridge the divide between "them" and "us," fostering empathy and understanding across cultural boundaries.
