Maurice Mboa’s First US Solo Show, Reliance, Opens at Opa Projects Miami
Opa Projects is a multidisciplinary gallery and cultural hub connecting art, design, and dialogue in Miami’s Little River. Known for its distinctive curation and welcoming energy, the gallery has quickly become a creative anchor for collectors, artists, and tastemakers seeking meaningful cultural experiences.
Opa Projects is pleased to present Reliance, a solo exhibition by Maurice Mboa, opening November 26, 2025, and running through January 10, 2026, in Miami – his first solo show in the United States. Born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Mboa is a self-taught artist whose faceless portraits, rendered on engraved and painted steel, express Âme-peinte (“soul prints”), imprints of inner life bridging body and spirit. Rooted in animist traditions and ancestral wisdom, his work traces a journey from Africa to Europe, the Middle East, and now America, exploring energies of belonging and transformation. “Maurice Mboa’s work resonates with a rare intensity, bridging the spiritual and the material,” says gallery director Billy Tartour. Reliance opens at Opa Projects, 7622 NE 4th Ct, Miami, 33138.
