Martial Yapo is a French African Artist born and raised in Normandy, France.
He has a Masters in Architecture and has been perfecting his visual art since the young age.
He tells stories through his artwork about his vision and conception of the African diaspora, placing his personal spirituality, Africans roots and traditions at a focus point.
His technique is a mix of street art, tribal crafting, graffiti and African contemporary art. The colorful shapes, collage, mixed media, acrylic, spray paint, and oil make his style unique and deep in the meaning.
Martial’s creations are a fine line between who he is as person and what he wants to represent:
A French-African man that considers his mix culture has strength and want to highlights his creative perspective to educate.
He considers that teaching, himself and his viewers through visual art on crucial historical facts of the black diaspora across the world history matter to connect the dots.
He is an urban artist with a 360-degree vision of the creative world.
