Somi Simplice

Somi Simplice was born and works in Kinshasa, DRC as a visual artist.  Attracted first by drawing, then seduced by painting, Simplice has been passionate about art since his early childhood. He later made art his career and pursued his artistic studies at the Institute of Fine Arts in Kinshasa.

In his approach, he expresses various forms of expression, aesthetic and technical characteristics. He presents a palette rich in colors where he alternately plays with his brush and slides his knife to freely burst out his artistic qualities. His declaration?  “Art is for me, the expression of a soul that wants to liberate itself through its creativity”.
