Although this is his first foray onto the Moroccan art scene, Barthélémy Toguo is already familiar with the area, having participated in the 1-54 Art Fair and exhibited at Galerie 38.

Barthélémy Toguo, renowned for his boundless creativity, describes himself as an artist without borders, exploring various mediums and themes while leaving room for an ever-evolving artistic universe. “I’m not an artist locked into one medium or subject,” he says, “even if certain themes recur regularly, my work draws up a universe without frontiers“. His works are inspired by his environment and the cultures that surround him, giving rise to unique and varied creations that testify to his ability to immerse himself in his creative context.

“Stronger Together” embodies this artistic approach, subtly blending the geometric motifs of Moroccan craftsmanship with elements celebrating life, the human and the animal.
