Maherisoa

Often described as a genius, Maherisoa is a webdesigner from Madagascar. His eye-catching works combine colorful illustrations of social conditions with mystical symbolism drawn from Malagasy roots. It's a fascinating mix that has earned Maherisoa a place of choice in the Grande Île's cultural landscape.

He draws on the mysticism of his homeland, and sacred beads, talismans and other artefacts now haunt his work...
