Artist Profile

Elangwe Sesse
Award-winning artist from Cameroon

Originally from South West Cameroon, Elangwe Sesse holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Buea in Cameroon and studied drawing for six years in the D’jino’s Pencil program. Since 2007, he has been the winner of numerous competitions thanks to his drawings, including the UNESCO Patrimonito storyboard competition in 2012.

Sesse draws his inspiration from his daily life and the society that surrounds him, his experiences, his adventures, his hopes and aspirations. He uses acrylic and pigment on canvas to represent what he calls the “sesse” style, a combination of surrealist and cubist figures with inverted faces to transport the audience into another world of thought and reflection.
