AKAA art and design fair brings African artists to Paris

Cover image: arts24 © FRANCE 24

Every year the art and design fair AKAA, or "Also Known as Africa", brings dozens of African and Afro-descendant artists to the French capital. As the 11th edition gets underway, we welcome Nigerian painter Midegbeyan Ojisua and South African artist Olivié Keck.

Ojisua's ethereal paintings are inspired by the Italian Renaissance and the colour palette of Leonardo da Vinci in particular, with earthy tones emphasising the connection between humans and nature.
