Artist Profile
Ingenieur Vancy
Self-taught Congolese artist and sculptor
Ingenieur Vancy was born in 1990 in Kinshasa (Congo). At the age of 16, he began to make a miniature car with his hands, pushing his parents to enroll him in general mechanics studies. After his diploma, he worked in a garage but, very quickly dissatisfied, he decided to stop this job to devote himself to art. He then began drawing, which he had been passionate about since childhood, first on paper, then on canvas.
