Human Being by Maxime Manga

Cameroonian digital artist, Maxime Manga, brings us this stunning poster series, Human Being. He pairs each poster with beautiful quotes from popular creatives, and reflective thoughts from himself. It’s apt to include these along with his works here to give the full experience.

Ultimately, this ongoing project pushes you to think about what it means to be fully human, 100% organic with all your flaws, but all your strengths too. The posters themselves aptly depict Black portraits, with intense graphic lines that reflect the complications of each human.

See some of our favorites from the published posters, but we can’t wait to get more!

Most of us must learn to love people and use things rather than loving things and using people ~ Roy T. Bennett

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering ~ Ben Okri

We carry within us the wonders we seek without us ~ Sir Thomas Browne

Fear can be a passenger but never let it lead ~ Maxime Manga

If being a selfish means that I believe in what I do and in my art or in music, then in that regard you can call me that. I believe in what I do, and I will say it ~ John Lennon

Fragility - To share your weaknesses is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength

Meet yourself - Some things cannot be taught; they must be experienced. You never learn the most valuable lessons in life until you go through your own journey

Accept Yourself - I learned to stop crying, I learned to hide inside myself learned to be someone else I learned to be cold and numb But today I decide to be myself with all my vulnerabilities.

Agape is total love. It is the love that consumes the person who experiences it. Whoever knows and experiences agape learns that nothing else in the world is important - just love
