Born in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1974, Patrick Madenge, named at birth Patrick Muhigiri, grew up in Brussels (Belgium), where he currently lives and works. Madenge being his pseudonym as an artist, as a tribute to his mother Nyota Madenge. After three short years of drawing school, he naturally redirected himself towards painting, as an autodidact, and after having experimented with different styles such as cubism and the abstract, today he concentrates on figurative painting. By playing with colors and shapes, he attempts in his own way to modernize the profile of the african woman.
