"Born in 1994 in Douala, Lauriane has been passionate about art since a young age. During her primary school career, she gradually developed drawing skills by reproducing various images of comic book characters. in 2011, When Yougang obtained her Professional Aptitude Certificate in secretarial and office automation, she decided to follow training in visual arts. Lauriane moved to Mbalmayo and enrolled at the IFA where she learned painting and sculpture. She received a baccalaureate in ceramics and enrolled at the University of Yaoundé where she a degree in plastic arts and art history.Lauriane has participated in many exhibitions, meetings, festivals, and visual arts competitions in Yaoundé, Douala. In 2023, Lauriane won the call for residency from the Free Academy of Fine Arts in Douala. The same year she was awarded the Goethe Prize discovery. She holds a master’s degree in visual arts from the University of Yaoundé 1 under the direction of Dr Paul Henri Souvenir Asako.Lauriane has developed an approach she calls “the fullness of infinity”. It is a perception of the universe as a set of different elements that come together to form a whole endowed with life. Being part of this whole, Lauriane projects herself into this space to find a place as a creative and creative woman. Thus, her approach aims to continually question the essence of things and give life to new things through representations of images made up of circles and lines. The circle represents for the most complete graphic symbol in the world. It alone is the beginning and the end. It is also the symbol of life and therefore linked to women. Her approach reflects patience, endurance, and perseverance. Those qualities have accompanied her life’s journey thanks to the tenacity of her mother. Lauriane explores different themes related to human beings and mainly women. Through representations of scenes of daily life and portraits, Yougang expresses her sensitivity on subjects linked to tolerance, alterability, matter, energy, sharing, transactional analysis and ecstasy.Lauriane’s sources of inspiration are her own photographs and those of various characters taken from magazines. She also draws inspiration from all the elements of her environment, from the complex world of women, and travel.Lauriane’s art acts as a voice that tells her story in subtle ways: her frustrations, her desires, her joys. She speaks to the world through art because she feels too shy to do it with words. Most importantly she heals the pains of her childhood by painting because she feels trapped at times.Lauriane creates using mixed processes involving painting, beads and glue. Her supports are canvas and clay objects in the form of bisque firing (vases, dishes, masks, etc.) my favorite mediums are clay, acrylic and beads.”
