Fabrice Monteiro

location: Dakar, Senegal

Fabrice Monteiro's photography occupies a rich space that straddles genres: photo-reportage, fashion and portraiture.

Deeply and genetically cross-cultural, Monteiro does not allow himself to be surprised by bias but cultivates his characteristic richness by projecting a double perspective on the themes he addresses. From terrifying visions of a world strangled by waste in his series The Prophecy to highly stylized portraits resurrecting a forgotten history. The artist addresses questions of society, politics, religion and identity.

Far from being shy, Monteiro's work feigns and brilliantly evades any stigma to let the full sensitivity of a non-conflicting identity express itself.
