TCHIF

Born in 1974 in Benin. Lives and works in Benin

Self-taught artist, Tchif, whose real name is Francis Nicaise Tchiakpe, paints very colorful canvases that give the impression of flying over ancient landscapes like an archaeologist. He shares Kandinsky’s idea on abstract art: “Form is the external expression of the internal content”.

He has been invited worldwide to present his work (Brazil, Holland, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Japan, etc.). Most recently at the National Museum of African Art (Smithsonian) in Washington.
