Epaphras Toïhen
As a 3rd generation prodigy, Epaphras Toïhen was nurtured early on by his father and grandfather, both master-sculptors trained at the mythical Dohoundji Atelier, located on the edges of ‘Oro Zoun’, the sacred forest near Agonli-Houégbo, in the Zou region of Benin, in West Africa.Thus, art is fundamentally inherent to Epaphras Toihen’s personal journey. Through lineage, by tradition, culture, history and most importantly by his native land.
