Feraul Fosso

Painter | Cameroon

Feraul Fosso’s colourful acrylics are inspired by African cinema, everyday life, the way of life of those around him (cultural, political, religious, etc.) and his personal experiences.

“I want to tell stories lived, heard with my painting, I want to archive my society in all aspects of everyday life”
