Between drawing, painting, visual arts and the organization of cultural events, the Cameroonian has found his world.

The hall of the French Institute of Cameroon (IFC) Yaounde is swarmed with people. Lovers swoon with delight in a corner where Thierry Ntamack, director, explains to a man interested in his project "cinema: the price of a beer." It is in this environment is the showcase of good ideas that serve as a forum for the culture Landry Mbassi is portraying.

In this noisy hall, the Cameroonian artist of 35 years old, stood in the middle. "The art caught me from the cradle," says Landry Mbassi who firmly believes that fate has made him one of the most prominent visual arts figures on the national triangle.

As a kid, Landry Mbassi already surprised his family by the fineness of his pencil stroke. This passion for drawing finally convinced his father to mark his way to the fine arts. Upon hearing of fine arts, Landry Mbassi then discovers that he can turn his playful hours into a livelihood.

In 1998, he enrolled for Industry Arts and Art History at the University of Yaoundé I, after a failed registration at the Beaux Arts in Paris. "It was unfortunately not what I had imagined," recalls Landry Mbassi.

He left the lecture halls of Yaounde in 2002 to dig for his groove in the narrow world of culture in Cameroon. A year later, he founded with Rass, a college friend, the Onom.art.opé collective. Their first project "Garage", supported by the Goethe Institute, was a success. "We had facilities that were seen with sounds. Rass was the sound engineer, and I was doing the sound installation," recalls Landry Mbassi.

In addition to revealing it to the public and the critics, "Garage" highlighted the multi-talented artist he is. For Landry Mbassi, he moved from visual arts to visual arts while acknowledging that he paints and no longer draws as before. "Art is not static. When one is an artist, one must be dynamic. So I refuse to be reduced to a single design," he said.

After "Garage" Landry Mbassi opened his doors of recognition and international career in 2009 with "Egotracking or APB," his first solo exhibition.

Since then, the father of a "beautiful 14-year-old girl," as he said himself, was full of ideas in his head. He is working on a book on the artist Jean Francis Sumégné. "I hope this book will be available by 2016 or 2017".

Landry Mbassi also wants to open a cultural center around the visual arts. Waiting to realize this dream, he gladly reached out to younger artists in search of popularity. He is also preparing a new edition of the Rencontres visual arts in Yaoundé (Ravy) this year.
