Since years abstract artist GIDJA creates unique dot paintings. Using a feather, and without a plan, he let the paint and colors guide him. Self-taught GIDJA finds his inspiration in indigenous culture for their understanding of spirituality and ecology. The dot paintings are narrative and populated with animals, symbols, people, spirits and objects. His first encounter with painting was in the period 1995-2002 when he painted saturated watercolors.
In april 2016 GIDJA painted 'A quest for life' with the help of Syrian and African refugees at a refugee centre in Flanders. In 2017 he toke part in a collective exhibition 'Spatial Fluidity' by Agora Gallery New York with international artists.
GIDJA is a practising osteopath in Belgium. His professional practice mirrors his artistic path: understanding connections and inspiring people.
