Moustapha Baidi Oumarou
Biography
Vacances en famille, 2022
MOUSTAPHA BAIDI OUMAROU WAS BORN IN 1997 IN MAROUA, IN THE EXTREME NORTH OF CAMEROON. Since his childhood, his developed sense of observation allows him to approach life with a certain philosophy. After primary and secondary studies, his taste for drawing led him to work in a silkscreen workshop. Supported by his entourage, he decided to focus on painting. In 2013, at the age of 17, he won the third prize in the visual arts of the Yawalta Maroua festival. This was an important distinction for him and the following year he joined the plastic arts club of the University of Maroua.
Moustapha Baidi Oumarou is inspired by his entourage and by his vision of the world. He is a conscious and humanist painter. This humanism appears in his paintings and drawings as an attempt to relay what the forgotten and most vulnerable can’t express with words. Moustapha Baidi Oumarou is an artist in order to militate for a fairer and more open world. Like him, his painting is always positive and optimistic.

Colours are at the matrix of Moustapha Baidi Oumarou’s creation. His canvases articulate around one dense pigment that mesmerizes the eye and heals the soul.
Whilst his art aims to produce joy, this new body of work extends this will. Après la pluie (After the rain) is a call to tenderness, love and sharing. Throughout the daily life scenes, Baidi Oumarou reminds that happiness is never far.
