Armand Pascal Aniambossou

Armand Pascal Aniambossou has developed a personal style that gives the impression of deep spirituality. It is as if his art is the survival of the capacity and force of history and culture.

He is extremely skillful and works with patience, enthusiasm and meticulousness. The joy of life from his personality shows through in the happiness of his paintings. He is a master colorist. His compositions are extremely creative and original with theatricalness and delicacy.

The suffering and distress of being African can be seen in his paintings such as Le Maître de la parole (The Master of the Word). The suffering slowly twists the faces, as deadened violence, in an unabrupt distortion.

Aniambossou's art is founded on the subtle agreement between figuration and abstraction, between stylization and naturalism, hedonism and skepticism, and impressionism and and symbolism. Syncretism which was the base of his religious education has become an artistic principle of action, the spring of his aesthetic innovations.

Armand Pascal Aniambossou offers to contemporary art his colored pallet and a powerful and contrasting portrait of human realities with a magic attraction.
