Ndjantou Boris – Sculpteur

Sculpteur Camerouno-français basé à Cahuzac-sur-Vère, et tourné vers l'Afrique --------------- Cameroonian-French sculptor based in Cahuzac-sur-Vère, but with an eye to Africa.

My artistic work and research revolve around the cosmogony of Bamiléké (Heliopolis), a people from whom I originate in Cameroon. According to my research, this people originated in Egypt (Balaji) and undertook a long journey that led them to Cameroon. They first travelled up the Nile, then crossed part of the Sahel before arriving in the high plains of Cameroon. Their culture, their art and their language are thus impregnated by this journey, which has influenced all their aesthetic and symbolic representations. As the bearer of this message, I am also the bearer of the message of my emigration from my native Cameroon, which gave rise to my blossoming as a black man in France and Europe.
Through my story, I take you on an essential quest for Identity, or rather identities... Where do we come from, where do we find ourselves? And where are we going?
