Batik artist Adamou Issoufou

The photographs that I am able to provide you with do not do them justice, and are simply meant to give you an idea of what the batiks look like.

Adamou Issoufou

The Nigerien artist who has produced these beautiful batiks is Adamou Issoufou. He is shown here with some of his work in the photographs that were provided by Yazi Dogo recently.

Adamou Issoufou was born in Niamey in 1984, and he went through an apprenticeship in batik design and fabrication at the Musée National du Niger in Niamey from 1999 to 2004. He was the student of Tahirou Adamou, Batik artist.
