Vita / Lebenslauf:
Born in 1977 in Yaounde-Cameroon, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung found an interest in art at an early age. Bound by the constraints of main-stream education, he only started reflecting his dreams in the form of paintings and drawings in his late teenage years.
After accomplishing a secondary and high school education in Cameroon, he moved to Berlin, Germany for university studies. He earned a Masters in Engineering in Food biotechnology and later did a Doctorate degree in Biotechnology. He lives and works in Berlin and Montpellier.
In the course of time, he has had the chance to compliment and bridge a gap not only between science and art but also between contemporary African art and his interpretation of art from the rest of the world.
His works tell stories ranging from birth to death, love to hate, immigrants to emigrants, slavery to freedom, but of all things- music; in the form of collages, drawings, acrylic paintings and to a lesser extent, photography. He describes his art as “neo-conscious art”.
