In 2018, a decisive interview with Ghanaian artist Clement Laryea marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Art has always been a faithful companion, it was time to devote myself to it fully. After a professional career in finance, I decided to devote myself to my passion for art. This is how pepitesdafrique.com was born in 2019, an online art gallery dedicated to the promotion and sale of creations by artists from the African continent and its diaspora. pepitesdafrique.com, une galerie d’art en ligne dédiée à la promotion et à la vente de créations d’artistes du continent africain et de sa diaspora.
Between traditional and contemporary art, these artists, both established and up-and-coming, tell a life story, a culture, a conviction, a commitment... intimately linked to Africa. They have made creation their breath of life, I call them my “Pépites”.
Their talents deserve to be recognised internationally. I travel the African continent to meet them and to discover their art, in a permanent quest for beauty and sustainability. Through “Pépites d’Afrique”, my team and I want to celebrate them and take their messages to the world. We also organise physical exhibitions and unique cultural events.
