Débora Sandjai Angola, b. 1996
Overview
Débora Sandjai is a self-taught artist in continuous metamorphosis, who works and resides in the city where she grew up. Her artistic expression is distinguished by a palette of dark tones, which has become her artistic and visual signature, offering the observer a deep reflection on the nuances of human feelings and emotions, with a particular emphasis on melancholy and serenity.
Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of "Kintsugi," Débora Sandjai uses acrylic, charcoal, and pastel to represent and highlight the imperfections inherent in the human condition. Through this approach, the artist not only promotes the acceptance of each individual’s idiosyncrasies and scars but also seeks to elevate them, celebrating their existence as intrinsic elements of a unique beauty, rich in meaning.
Débora Sandjai has participated in various group exhibitions, artist residencies, and diverse projects, both in Luanda and in other cultural contexts. Her works invite the public on an introspective journey, where each piece serves as an invitation to contemplate and appreciate the imperfect beauty of human existence.
