Klervie Mouho is a Ivorian-French artist and designer.
Raised in Abidjan, she moved to Angers, France, where she graduated with distinction from the Beaux-Arts in Angers (TALM) in 2021. She obtained her master's degree in visual communication, at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) in 2023. The ZHdK rewards her work by granting her the ZHdK Fund 2023 for international and intercultural student projects, as well as second place in the Förderpreis 2023. She is also part of the ZHdK Incubators next steps 2024 project.
Mouho works mainly with pastel drawings, but also painting, and photography. Her work is inspired by memories that are both poignant and vague - collective memories of a troubled time in Côte d'Ivoire when she was still a child, including political unrest and military uprisings, as well as lighter, more personal memories of family visits and celebrations.
"I create artworks where memories are transformed and reinvented. The colours I use are vibrant and the characters I depict are faceless".
