Biography

Amani Bodo was born in Kinshasa in 1988. Bodo is the youngest son of the late-lamented Pierre Bodo (1953- 2015), who was one of the leading representatives of Congolese painting. The young Amani had a great gift for drawing and found his vocation at a very young age. At school, he preferred drawing to coming top of the class. His father quickly grasped the situation and did not insist on Amani concentrating on schoolwork. Instead, his father chose to support his son’s artistic vocation. He welcomed his son to his studio and taught him, just like he had taught the elder brother, Bodo fils. And this is how Amani started painting at the age of 10. He also displayed a great aptitude for sculpture, but opted for painting. Amani sold his first work at the age of 16. Having studied at the Institute of Fine Art, he opted to give the School of Fine Arts a miss and started earning his living as an artist at the age of 20. His works became part of the famous Pigozzi collection of contemporary African art when he was only 21.
