About DJEKA

Discover the artistic universe, journey and commitments of Jean-Baptiste DJEKA.

The Language of Flow

A distinctive figure among creators of his generation, Jean-Baptiste DJEKA develops a pictorial language that draws the viewer into the most secret chambers of the mind while questioning our spiritual dimension.

He evolves according to his own freedom. His vision directs his works toward the expression of movement through flows — a unique gestural language that communicates coded or immediate emotions and actively participates in community life.

Painter and materialist sculptor, DJEKA uses every technique useful to the realization of his creations.

My Objective

To impact the consciousness of the daughters and sons of Africa and of the blue planet. We are present on earth today, but one day we will leave. Our duty is to leave a positive trace of our presence for future generations so they have the foundations to go even further.

« Leaving a positive trace for future generations — that is the meaning of every gesture made in the studio. »
