Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux Guadeloupean, b. 1995

Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux, a French contemporary artist of Guadeloupean origin, creates powerful works that explore identity, memory, and colonial heritage. Born in 1973, Deloumeaux studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris before establishing himself on the international art scene. His paintings, sculptures, and installations combine elements of Antillean history, cultural symbols, and raw materials to interrogate notions of roots, displacement, and resilience. Deloumeaux's vivid colors and expressive forms evoke the energy and complexity of Creole cultures. Among his notable works, the "Mangroves" series uses the mangrove as a metaphor for the entangled roots of Antillean identity. His immersive installations invite the viewer to navigate spaces charged with history and memory. Deloumeaux has exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, and the Havana Biennial. His work, rooted in the Caribbean experience but universal in its scope, offers a profound reflection on questions of identity and intercultural dialogue.
