Yvanovitch Mbaya is an artist based in Casablanca, (Morocco).
His work is enriched by the elsewhere he travels through: close, distant, exotic or linked to the origins […]
Through a diversity of artistic mediums, he works on his works in the manner of a sociologist.
He is particularly interested in younger generations and their relationships with new communication tools, which sometimes paradoxically lead to their isolation.
A great traveler, his main question is How to achieve “Openness to others while avoiding dreaming of exile”?
Trained at the National School of Fine Arts in Brazzaville (Congo), he is also a former student of Bill Kouélany.

His work includes pastel drawings, photography, and multimedia installations.
His works question the lasting imprint left by Man on his environment through his technical progress.
This notion of Progress turns out to be artificial since History demonstrates more convolutional and schizophrenic cycles regarding our material and technological interests.
