At barely 30, Epaphras Toïhen commands a body of work of impressive maturity.
 
As a third-generation prodigy, Epaphras was nurtured very early on by his father and grandfather, both Master Sculptors trained at the mythical Dohoundji Atelier, located in Agonli, on the edges of ‘Oro Zoun’, the sacred forest of the Zou region in Benin, West Africa.

Art is fundamentally inherent to Toïhen’s personal journey. Through his lineage, by tradition, culture, history and most importantly by his native land.

The sculptures by Epaphras Toïhen are portals to the spiritual realm of nature.
