Born in Paris of Cameroonian parents, Pefura is an architect by training and an artist by profession.

Pefura’s work helps us broaden our understanding of the diversified spaces between our constructions of self and society. His aesthetic investigations evince the tension between memory and place, cultural dislocation and relocation and issues related to postcolonial discourse. The many entrances and overlapping interpretations of his work allows us to read beyond the dialogue between the exterior and interior and to engage with the more complicated, multifaceted aspect of experience itself.

Pefura obtained his diploma in Architecture from Ecole d’Architecture, Paris-Tolbiac in 1999 and has actively practiced as an artist since the early 1990s. He has received numerous awards including 1999 Cite des Arte Internationale, Paris and La Source – Atelier V, Gueroulde, France. A widely exhibited artist, his work is in several collections such as Fondation Guerlain, Paris and Conseil General de L’Eure in France.
