Achille Zoungrana is a painter who lives and works in Ouagadougou. He learned to paint under the guidance of the artist Sama and also attended various art courses and workshops in Ouagadougou. His paintings are predominantly abstract and are built up from transparent, subtly layered applications of paint. Red, black, and white play a significant role in his palette, referencing the traditional ceremonies surrounding the Moro Naba—the king of the Mossi—where these colors symbolize concepts such as struggle, creation, life, and peace. Zoungrana works with oil and acrylic paints and mixed media on canvas, making extensive use of open space and highly simplified forms.
