The world of William Bakaïmo is a great dreamlike bestiary where humans are not humans, where animals are animals no more. In this strange ark of Noah, the imagination and the dream carve themselves a considerable part to describe a reality that escapes more and more to the artist. He confuses the tracks to restore paintings that question.
These hybrid figures half-men, half birds or other rare species belong to the phantasmagorical garden of its creator. As he says : "the lizard that slumbers in me gets rid of its skin every time to become a new man". That’s why the little reptile will often return to his paintings as an animal emblematic of hope, found happiness, painter who renews himself incessantly.
Each painting inspires many readings because what more secret he carries in him is surprisingly related to his direct environment or to an actuality which impacts his life and his pictorial universe.
In the strange bestiary, there is what lives and pulsates in his heart, his soul but also other dramas that eat the African continent up. He reconciles internal revolts and other more conscious struggles. For example, the acts of terrorism perpetrated by Boko Haram have profoundly affected and revolted him, as the fate of children on the African continent.
This world he built himself did not lock the artist into a tight bubble. On the contrary, it claims the influence of other Cameroonian artists such as Joël Mpah Dooh and Hako Hankson whose finely honed characters are surprisingly spontaneous, but also Basquiat whose work has that authenticity that William seeks.
In his most recent paintings such as "Freedom" or "Bororo am", the artist broadens his project and explores different pictorial approaches while remaining coherent with his universe. It feels pushed by impulses of creativity, by a new happiness to paint despite the difficulties he faces. With his friend Moustapha Baïdi Oumarou, William Bakaïmo is part of this new generation of emerging talents who place Cameroon as one of the leading countries in contemporary art.

She closed her eyes #7 Zahra Zeinali 21st Century Iranian painting child world
By Zahra Zeinali
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on canvas
Signed on the back
Zahra ZEINALI was born in 1975 in Tehran, Iran.
From 2001 to 2004, she studied Fine arts at the Art and Architecture University in Tehran.
At the same time, she taught visual arts to children during 15 years.
Passionate about photography, she trained in photography in 2007 at the House of Photography in Tehran.
In 2012, she moved to France. Confronted with her new life, her vision of the world changed.
Since 2020, she has resumed training in photography at the EFET School in Paris.
Zahra ZEINALI
The Doll’s House
“What can a true artistic temperament aspire to after a youth spent in Iran today?
To flee the hassles, prejudices, restrictions, to open wide a window of freedom rich in potentialities that were believed for a long time inaccessible. Zahra Zeinali became a visual arts teacher for fifteen years. Her pupils are 6 to 12 years old. Drawing, sculpture, painting, model design, she taught them a great diversity of techniques, but above all to think and design freely by themselves, in an atmosphere of joyful creative disorder which, surprisingly, is tolerated by a careful hierarchy. Then she studied four years at the University of Art and Architecture in Tehran.
When she arrived in France, after a brief abstract period inspired by the rhythms of nature, it was at the time of the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks, which marked her deeply, to the point of lastingly darkening the ideal of emancipation and autonomy that she had projected on her stay in Paris. "There is no paradise on earth" she concluded with a melancholy smile. An old doll, bought for 1 euro in a storage room, triggers a click in her. The bitter imprint left by the Iranian confinement, the memory of her fifteen years of teaching visual arts to children, the loneliness of her Parisian exile, all this sentimental nebula found a plastic metaphor in the image of the doll. This is what these delicate earthenware faces evoke, often abused, abandoned, the childish innocence of their ingenuous gazes, a sort of strange absence from the world of the living, as if their attenuated life took place behind the mystery of a theater curtain...
