ABOUT MYSELF
My name is Custodia Kong de Sousa, usually known as Todi Kong de Sousa. I am Portuguese, born in Mozambique, and I have been living in Macau, China, since 1986.
My liking for art and aesthetic and the craving to express the flow of my imagination started at a very early age. I was about six when I used to spend my days drawing. However, I graduated in Civil Engineering and life created a gap between myself and art. The attraction for aesthetic remained, though. Therefore, I attended some painting courses and decided to try to sculpt by myself a few years ago, after more than 20 years of engineering activity. When I created my first sculpture, I realized that this kind of art, by modeling forms, movements and textures, made it possible for me to convey my emotions and messages in a more expressive manner.
I am a self taught sculptor. I started by making experiments with many kind of materials, the process flowed and my ideas materialized smoothly. The exploration of materials, shapes and techniques by myself brings me a higher level of excitement and interest.
Steel structure, epoxy sculpting material, fabric, fabric hardener and stainless steel mesh are the main materials I use.
