Dje Ozval

Painter - Questionism

Artist Dje Ozval was born on November 21, 2001, in the sub-prefecture of Maminigui, specifically in the Marahoué region.

Artistic Training

Passionate about painting since the age of 7, after his secondary studies and obtaining his BEPC at the BAD modern high school in Gohitafla, he enrolled at the Lycée d'Enseignement Artistique (LEA) in Abidjan. After three years of training, he obtained an artistic baccalaureate with a "fairly good" grade.

This diploma allowed him to join the BEAUX-ARTS (ENBA, now ESAPAD), where he met several painting masters, such as Mr. Konan Pascal, and others.

Artistic Approach: Questionism

Faced with his unanswered questions about love and the maternal bond, he realized that if even mothers don't know the answer, why are they willing to sacrifice so much for their offspring? For him, it's a mystery in women that cannot be understood.

This is how Ozval Dje decided to celebrate women and childhood through his art, using his artistic approach of "questionism" to show how much women and men remain a true mystery. He emphasizes that even by asking countless questions about women, one can never truly understand them.
