Born in 1997, Democratic Republic of Congo
with Mandela's death, a symbol of the struggle for emancipation has entered history. Or rather, it has made a comeback. Billy Gibula (is an incredibly passionate and versatile painter from Kinshasa, whose love for art blossomed from a young age. He has always been captivated by the world of painting, dreaming of becoming an artist since the age of 11. Like many talented Congolese painters, Billy is part of the popular painting school in Kinshasa. His journey to becoming a painter was truly unique; he did not attend the Kinshasa Academy of Fine Arts but instead dedicated every spare moment to painting. One fateful day, he met Jean Claude Lofenia Mpoo, a renowned Kinshasa painter, on the street, and Jean Claude became his mentor. Focused on capturing the spirit of Congolese cultural heritage, peace, and love, Billy skillfully brings his subjects to life through vibrant oil-on-canvas portraits. His distinctive backgrounds create an enchanting atmosphere, transporting the spectators in the heart of the Congo. Billy is also an active member of the Kitokongo community, contributing significantly to its thriving and vibrant atmosphere. His dedication and passion play a crucial role in making the community a privileged space for artists and artisans.
