According to a press release sent to the NA editorial team, Joslyna Pemba’s contemporary work is the result of techniques mixed with the predominance of a pictorial touch.
“Joselyna Pemba crosses the limits of academicism that she absorbed while studying Fine Arts and breaks them. She revolutionizes her approach and her artistic vision, her work results in an amalgamation of plastic media”, it reads.
It is said that her contemporary creations show women, as she is the one at the heart of her questioning and reflection, a woman who faces the challenges of modernity and her emancipation, a dynamic woman, without complexes or limits.
Joselyna Pemba was born on December 12, 1991 in Luanda, and grew up in a modest family from the north of Angola. She studied, like many of her compatriots, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country that she would eventually become her second homeland, where she completed her studies and attended her first courses in visual arts.

Among the exhibitions in which he participated are, this year, Ritual Union, a group show held in May at ARMA, the most recent contemporary art gallery in Luanda, and, between 2012 and 2017, several exhibitions in Kinshasa, one of them solo . She is currently a member of the Sakana Na Art collective, Zayi collective and Atelier Mawete.
