This is the idea of painter Aristide Kouamé to breathe new life into plastic waste. He counts.
“It’s a way to fight pollution. I tell myself that the garbage that man throws into the water, the sea does not want. So the sea brings them back to us. “At 26, Aristide Kouamé has already stood out, transforming slippers into works of art.”I told myself that by recycling slippers to make their works, within 20, 30, 50 years of future generations we will know what the problem we are facing in 2021“Aristide believes. For every work he produces, Aristide must count”at least 14 hours of work“
Graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in Abidjan in 2019, Aristide made this passion his profession. “I’m a fine arts teacher, but I’m not paid yet, so I live in art“, confides.
