[...] This work, "Beyond Hope 2" is designed with salvaged cartridge cases and depicts a seated woman with a child and the two each have one hand raised. " It's just the cry of a woman and a child. Around them are arranged mortars which are used in our country to pound pondu or saka saka. The hairstyle is made with braided iron wires. J thus expresses my attachment to my culture. I am from there and I am from here. I have no cultural barrier", explained Freddy Tsimba.

"Even though I attended Kinshasa School of Fine Arts (les Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa), the streets were my real school. That’s where I got my game and inspiration. My real teachers were the forgers, the blacksmiths, from whom, for 5 long years, I learnt to tame the fire and mastered the technique of welding."
Freddy Tsimba is an artist-sculptor from the Democratic Republic of Congo, born in 1967 in Kinshasa
He is a master of assembling and welding of scraps, recycled materials like cartridges cases, machetes, spoons, forks, scissors, keys and other recovered materials with personal profound meaning to him.
His works are etched in the epoch we live in, as witnesses of Time.
“Being an artist, in my view, means not having things pass me by : as a visual artist, everything matters and holds interest for me and I have a say in things that happen around me, like politics or social issues. I draw lines of reflection on matters on which I haven’t found answers to. I provide food for thought. My work is a reflexive investigation”.
