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

SPREAD LOVE by Aissata
First Steps
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.
My women come in many different shapes and colors... just like in real life. Skinny, curvy, short,tall, dark, light...They are saying This is who I am. Accept me
the way I am, it's not like you have a choice!
Being a woman is a great privilege even though it's not always easy since we live in a man's world.
Men might rule the world, but they can only rule a woman's mind if she allows them to do so. No woman should give any man the power to decide
whether she is beautiful or not. What do they know about real beauty anyway ?
>Being beautiful is not about the way you look, but how much you love yourself and how you project that love onto others...that, in my opinion is being a truly
beautiful woman
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
