- Moufouli Bello
Moufouli Bello (b. 1987, Benin) is a multi-media and visual artist working with painting, drawing, photography, installations, sound, and digital art. Examining the role of visual culture in the construction of racial and gender stereotypes, her portraits of strong, powerful women challenge, while the narrative details remain ambiguous. Characterized by her emblematic color palette, blue particularly reflects myriad qualities such as strength, density, healing, lively emotion, purity, and peace. Blue is frequently present in Yoruba culture and used by Bello to express not only identity but also to create new realities conveying alternative female representations, celebrating the fullness of black, modern femininity.
