National Pavilion of Mauritius at the 57th Venice Biennale


Jacques Desiré Wong So (Born in 1979 in Rodrigues, Mauritius) studied applied arts at Université Michel de Montaigne, (Bordeaux, France). Jacques Desiré uses Chinese ink and acrylics in his abstract paintings on canvas; researching and developing traditional painting techniques such as sfumato and lavis, which allows the tones and colours of his works to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms. The use of meditation and breathing techniques is an integral part of the process. In his own words what inspires him is a desire to help the world become united.
