(Matisse) Makwanda was born in Montreal in 1991. He is an artist, writer, researcher in aesthetics, co-founder of VÆNTRAL and a partner at Concilium Capital Humain. In a unique approach inspired by transdisciplinarity, he explores the levels of interface: how an image becomes a symbol, how the relationship between subjects becomes mythology.

Graphics and subtle, raw or loaded, his stagings intrigue by the strong presence of objects and intensity of colors. One finds there the mirror effect, the feeling of disturbing strangeness, or a contemplative fullness.
