Biography / JOSÉPHINE SAGNA
Joséphine Sagna is an artist with German-Senegalese roots. She purposefully searches for self-portraiture of BIPoC (abbrev. Black, Indigenous, People of Color) women and their use of social media for self-realization, while defyingprevalent stereotypes. Her use of faceted layers, bold colors and complementing typography gives a glimpse into the conflictual search for identity.
Her paintings are expressions of the constant struggle between the want-to-be and have-to-be, between standing out and getting lost in the masses – manifested through a constant interplay of transcending fore- and backgrounds.
