A certificate from the Gallerie Magnin (Paris) will be provided to the buyer. JP Mika began drawing at a very young age, after taking courses at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa and attending the studio of the artist Chéri Chérin, who became his teacher. The paintings in this edition are from this period of the artist's career In them, the themes of nature, legends and the social and political problems of Kinshasa are a leitmotif. Over time, he perfected his technique and developed his own style An exceptional draughtsman, his painting focuses on portraiture, simplifying the setting and using canvases with very colourful motifs as backgrounds. This "discovery" and the perfect use of colour give a very positive energy to his work His compositions are very realistic
and regardless of the subject, he paints a modern, dynamic, and cheerful Africa, with softness and tenderness A touch of humour accompanies his messages.
