Oumé, in the southwest of the country. A graduate of the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Abidjan, he currently lives and works in Abidjan, the Ivorian capital.

In a world in perpetual change, Gopré’s work seeks to capture the fleeting essence of human and social identity through interactions. Through visual works, he explores how identity is constructed and deconstructed, reflecting the rapid transformations of our time.

By using motifs such as butterflies, leaves or falling flowers, he symbolizes the ephemeral identity of Man.

His artistic approach invites us to reflect on the way societies evolve and on the fragility of identity constructions. Through this slow transformation, Gopré wishes to offer an awareness of the beauty and complexity of our own passage through time.
