JAMEL ARMAND, NETHERLANDS (1978)

An ode to the purity and aesthetics of faded civilisations.

Jamel Armand’s paintings are soulful portrayals of tribal figures, intimate, dignified, and rich with spirit. His work is deeply rooted in a personal connection to his Indonesian heritage, honouring the people and cultures he feels intrinsically linked to. Through these portraits, Jamel pays tribute to communities often overlooked, celebrating their strength, beauty, and resilience despite hardship. Each work is a quiet homage, powerful in presence, and filled with love.

Bisou had been following Jamel Armand’s work long before the first meeting in person, and the connection felt instantly right. Beyond being a remarkable artist, Jamel is a warm and welcoming presence, the kind of person who makes you feel at ease from the very first moment. His visual language aligns beautifully with Bisou’s story, a truly natural fit.

quote

"Jamel has been making waves with his bold, colorful, tribal influenced paintings and his energy and sense of style are hard to miss. I particularly love his bold use of colour and the mix of patterns, layers and materials he uses. I see his work as a set of pre-determined building blocks, which he re-arranges all the time, whether it be in colour, composition or pattern. The paintings are very textured, which is something you can’t really see on images, you wil have to experience it in real life."
