Mola Boyika is a commercial artist, illustrator, draftsman, cartoonist and digital painter. He grew up reading Belgian, Japanese, French and American comics and cartoons. However, he was most influenced by Japanese comics and cartoons (Dragon Ballz, Knights of the Zodiac, etc.), which is especially evident in the facial features of his works. These have their own originality: a mixture of two cultures: manga and Congolese ba, influenced by authors such as Patrick MOMBILI, Kojele MAKANI and Lembo KASHAWURI.
