Florent Mundele

About

Born in Kinshasa in 2002, drawing had been a dream for this young artist since his childhood. Growing up in a neighborhood filled with building painters and mural artists, he was inspired by their work and started reproducing their creations on walls and sketches from the age of 10. This early exposure encouraged him to begin creating decorations for local businesses.

At 13, he met a seasoned artist named Master Tajho Marciano at his workshop called Atelier TM Color. Under the guidance of Master Mariciano, he received extensive training in popular art, learning the foundations of canvas preparation and color mixing. This experience in the workshop helped shape his artistic future, as he started to create works based on popular painting, which focuses on the daily societal narratives and rich fauna scenes.

Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci and Chéri Samba, he began to explore his own path in art, experimenting with different techniques and ideas. Today, he is working on an artistic project centered around self-knowledge, aiming to help individuals recognize their values and apply them to address vital and societal needs.

In his art, he employs a mixed-media approach, using oil paint, acrylics, and collage on canvas for his creations. Although still young and experimenting, his work showcases an interesting and promising talent that is worth keeping an eye on.
