Nanténé was born near the ocean side, in 1993. After gratuated from a DNAP (op. printing and visual arts) at ESBANM in 2016, he nows lived and works between Paris and Brussels.
He is represented by Gallery Sultana, in Paris, and has been published by Hachette editions, Points editions and Gorge Bleue, in France.

Nanténé tells stories, with words and images. Borrowing from the storyteller’s role as scribe and reporter of what is to come, and what has been, his work seeks to create a living documentation of the present, and a new iconography of the intimate. In his photos, as in his texts, the same motifs unfold - stories of tenderness, transmission and freedom, narrated by bodies in motion, de-normed, volatile. Through this work of repetition, both in the technique and in the creative protocol of his textual and visual works, the artist creates a 360° universe, where a succession of obsessive images, endlessly repeated gestures and words all serve an incessant quest to get it right - to finally try to get closer to that neuralgic point of individual narratives, where the story of the other becomes the universal story.
