A screen-printing artist and animation film director, Gombo is of French, Congolese, Angolan, and Brazilian descent. His works explore the interconnections between Africa, Europe, and the Americas from an Afro-descendant perspective.
In 2021, he joined the new wave of the Marseille art scene and became a resident of Buropolis, a temporary occupation space supported by Yes We Camp, which brought together over 250 artists until June 2022 as part of an artistic and socially engaged project. During this period, he participated in collective exhibitions focusing on figurative art.
In September 2022, he presented his first solo show titled “Museum Regard Afropéen”, a vision of a museum dedicated to Black figures in European history. He exhibited about fifteen original screen prints on canvas, paper, and textiles, while also inviting other artists to collaborate with him in producing textile works.
In 2023, he made waves by exhibiting his work titled “Passeport Afropéen” illegally at the Mucem in Marseille. This act aimed to draw attention to the recognition of Afro-European communities, often marginalized in the official narratives of museum spaces. That same year, he was selected to participate in the virtual reality exhibition Manifest: New Artistic Perspectives on the Memories of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, with his immersive animated film project “The Private Portrait”.
In 2024, several of his works were chosen to feature in the exhibition “Wax” at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. This international group exhibition, bringing together about fifteen artists, marked a significant milestone in his career.
In 2025, Gombo took part in the France-Brazil cultural season with a project combining a decolonial fashion show and a solo exhibition at the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Salvador de Bahia.
