The Instagram Account of the month: saidou_dicko
Absolute fan of the works of this self-taught artist, both photographer, videographer, installer and painter who enchants my Insta feed. Saïdou Dicko was born in 1979 in Déou, Burkina Faso, and today lives and works in Paris.
While shadows have always inspired his work, his works are bright, mysterious and poetic, just like his legends.
When he was a shepherd, he used to trace the contours of the bushes, animals and rivers he encountered on the arid land of the Sahel. In the series of painted photographs "The Shadowed people" that made him known, delicate children's figures appear, which he covers in black to give them a universal character.
