Born in 1964 in Libreville, Gabon. She lives and works in Paris, France.

Originally from Gabon, Myriam Mihindou went to France in the late 1980s, she entered the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux and graduated in 1993.
Her aphasia pushes her to seek a means of expression as a therapeutic process. She first works with sculpture and forging. Soon the discovery of Land Art, Joseph Beuys and Ana Mendieta led her to explore territories closer to nature with organic materials (earth, water, sun, paraffin, kaolin, tea) and through ritualized actions.
Myriam Mihindou develops a multidisciplinary visual language, working as well in photography as performance, video, drawing or sculpture. At the whim of her nomadism, from Gabon to Reunion Island, from Egypt to Morocco, her work feeds on her geographical and cultural encounters. Highly autobiographical, her creative process probes memory, identity, the social, political, sexual body.
