My art is mostly a metaphorical exploration of diverse aspects of the human experience, such as relationships, personal inner struggles, fear, death, love, hate, loneliness, past memories, and dreams.
Benigno Mangovo (b. 1993) is an Angolan artist based in Luanda, Angola. Born and raised in Cabinda in an artistic family, he has been drawing since childhood. In 2017, he decided to focus permanently on art. To do this he joined the painting atelier of Patrício Mawete, a nationally renowned artist.
Mangovo describes his work as generally introspective, using his personal experiences and
reflections as references material. His work includes recurrent themes such as memory, dreams, feelings, emotions, death, alienation, family and interpersonal relationships, and the subject-object and vice versa relationship between man and his space.
