My Biography

Stève Viès is a Québec based artist and éducator whose work celebrates the rich cultural heritage and diverse artisan traditions of West Africa.. It was in 2008, in Mali, with his meeting of two great masters of textile art, Boubacar Doumbia and Mamoudou Nango , that his vision to preserve and share this rich cultural tradition became clearer. The Spirit of Mali exhibition is representative of 20 years of passion and exchange for the art and culture of Mandé.
