"After the decolonisation of Belgian Congo in 1960, many Congolese men thought that the word indépendence meant ‘a beautiful blonde woman’. That was what they had fought for. What is knowledge? In this work, I started using figurative elements, whereas before, there were only texts, signs and symbols in my paintings."
