Enoch Miekutima Matondo, born in Kinshasa in 1995, lives and works in the city. A graduate of the Kinshasa Academy of Fine Arts, he decided to devote himself fully to art after completing his studies.
Following an internship at the contemporary art structure Kin Art Studio, he received a three-month creative and production residency that allowed him to develop his practice further.
His work explores personal, societal and universal questions, drawing on his immediate environment, Congolese history and the mythologies of his people. Inspired by Nkekele, a climbing plant traditionally used to weave mats, baskets and chairs, he reinterprets this ancestral practice in his art. Through intricate brushwork and phantasmagorical compositions, he creates connections between people, identities, historical memory and contemporary social issues.
