EXAUCE BIGUE KOVIKO
A Visionary African Contemporary Symbolic Abstract Expressionist, Sculptor, Poet, and Social Activist.
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and shaped by displacement and refugee life in Uganda, his work emerges from lived experience, memory, and the ongoing search for freedom.
Through abstraction and symbol, KOVICOS explores identity, resilience, and the invisible forces that shape human life.
His practice is rooted in experimentation, material limitation, and philosophical inquiry, transforming personal history into a visual language that invites reflection, connection, and transformation.
THE WORLD OF CIRCLES
The World of Circles is a body of work exploring freedom as a continuous, generational journey.
Rooted in lived experience of displacement and survival, the collection reflects on memory, identity, and the unseen systems that shape human life.
Through symbolic abstraction, repetition, and circular form, KOVICOS examines cycles of struggle, resilience, and becoming.
Each work functions as both reflection and passage inviting the viewer to consider freedom not as a destination, but as an evolving state of being.
VISION BEYOND ART
Founded in a belief that “from something comes everything and from everything comes something,” KOVICOS becomes visionary ecosystem where art and enterprise merge to deliver freedom, resilience, and a lasting legacy for our contemporary era.

- THE WEAPON AGAINST SILENCESSilence can be heavy. Not the peaceful kind but the kind that grows in refugee settlements, in haunting memories of war, violences, oppression and responsibility beyond ability.

I learned early that silence can swallow identity, voice, and purpose… unless… Read more: THE WEAPON AGAINST SILENCES
