Jacques Iloki (son of the painter François Iloki) was born in 1962, in the Poto-poto district of Brazzaville.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow. His style is influenced by cubism and fauvism. His palette is warm, and his compositions deep, his dynamic rhythm. He is a laureate at the 7th biennial of the CICIBA where he receives the grand prize for painting from the President of the Republic of Congo. Deeply imbued with African tradition, if life is for him a sacred chain that connects the dead to the living, children to elders, his style does not stop at traditional graphic principles. His personal and universal work makes him today one of the safest values among the painters of Brazzaville. Tirelessly, he very kindly dispenses his advice to the beginner artists of the School of Poto-Poto.
