onwards to 1991, he worked as assistant of Roman Cieslewicz. Greatly inspired by the renowned graphic designer, Michéa threw himself into his
painting profusely.
Michéa co-founded the label 100% Dakar and also collaborated with DKR Studios during the nineties. In 2007 and 2008, he taught photomontage
workshops at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa.
Since 2008, along with the painter Moulay Youssef Elkahfai, Vincent Michéa has been teaching silkscreen printing at the École Supérieure des Arts
Visuels(ESAV)in Marrakech, Morocco.
He is now represented by different galleries in Europe, USA and Africa, and his artwork has been shown in many solo and group shows including in
