Hailing from the beautiful African Island of São Tomé and Principe, Aissata is the epitomy of the self-taught artist. Her work, born out of her for love of Africa,
her respect for life and her pride in being not only a woman, but an African woman, is a true reflection of the fiery passions that lie within her soul. Her artistic
journey is one of dedication and hard work, with a deep yearning to express herself and spread love.

Aissata's work is a pure and authentic celebration of women, and of the beauty of womanhood as a whole. At the core of her art are indeed these women which
she brings to life in a wonderful world of vibrant colors painted on large-scale canvases that reveal women that are strong, tall, beautiful and confident... and an
intrinsic part of their creator

Well-traveled, fluent in five languages, a free-spirit, an artist with a purpose and a message of love, former model Aissata currently lives and works in
Brooklyn, New York.

My Mission

I want to Spread Love all around the world through my art that's meant to awaken your senses, make you happy and feel empowered...

I began working on my characters a few years ago right after moving to New York from Paris. One day was laying in my bed staring at my linen curtains with
African embroideries, when I thought I saw the shape of a body (just like when you stare at a cloud for a minute, and you see something that no one else does).
From that day on I literally fell in love with my new found characters and have almost obsessively.

Acrilyc Paintings

This is the part of my work that brings me the most excitement: painting on large canvasses.
As my need to express myself with a greater immersion into art became undeniable, I felt the need to paint.This the most challenging part of my journey as an
artist because of the long months I spend on each piece, but by far the most fulfilling.
At the core of my paintings are indeed my female characters which I bring to life in a wonderful world of vibrant colors painted on large-scale canvases that reveal
women that are strong, tall, beautiful and confident… and an intrinsic part of myself
