Every Day has the Potential to Surprise

The impressive female images of Moufouli Bello, the expression of their inner presence, create a mesmerizing dialogue.

And the colors? Striking!

Sometimes we are captivated. That is what happened to me when I first saw paintings by Moufouli Bello, an artist from Cotonou, Benin, a small country in west Africa. After studying law, out of commitment to the social rights of the local population, she decided to dedicate herself to her great passion, painting.
