Artist Bio Statement:
Abdoulie Conteh, a contemporary painter from The Gambia, has emerged as a passionate self-taught artist known for his evocative works. Born and raised in West Africa, he began an artistic journey fueled by the inspiration of his homeland, developing a distinctive style.
Despite an incomplete formal education, Abdoulie pursued an independent path in art, his natural talent and commitment leading to proficiency and exhibitions in both The Gambia and the United Kingdom.
His dedication to art goes beyond self-expression; Abdoulie has contributed to his community by providing art performances for underprivileged students at a charity school in Senegal, demonstrating his belief in art’s transformative power.
Abdoulie has founded his own studio, immersing himself in creativity with a brush in hand, inspired by a natural flow. His work expresses a love for people and animals and a profound appreciation for life’s enriching elements.
He has always aspired to use his artistic talent to advocate for the richness of life, a treasure he believes should be shared globally. Deeply affected by man-made suffering, Abdoulie advocates for innovation that nurtures life rather than creating harmful substances. He believes life is too precious to be taken for granted and envisions a world where everyone can live happily and safely.
Abdoulie seeks to promote a GROWING FLOWER DAY worldwide, a time for reflection and unity symbolizing global peace. He recognizes that at any given moment, humans require each other’s mental and physical support, regardless of the outcome.
He views art as a miraculous key to connection through nurturing. Engaging with the art you love can perpetually bind love to you. He holds the conviction that the collaboration of art and artists can significantly contribute to the promotion of peace. Another persistent thought is his aspiration to establish a PAINTING ART WORLD DAY, where everyone, artist or not, is invited from all around the globe to express their desire for peace and stability for our future and the generations to follow. We, the people of today, are responsible for ensuring love, peace, and stability for the innocent generations that will succeed us.
His motto is: “May peace prevail and shower the world.
