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.
