The artist has hosted several art workshops. He is a permanent member of several research and professional groups (UDAPCAM, GRAP-Africa, KAMERA)
He is the general manager of the company STUDIO MOK, a graphic design and fine arts company based Douala / Deido) where he constantly shows the work of six Cameroonian artists.
Rostand POKAM’s figurative paintings are about his immediate environment. They are like a study of a city, they question the characteristics of a city.
They also question formal aspects of a painting: color, contrast, depth, balance, harmony etc. Every new work is a challenge to find an interesting and original solution for these aspects.
The relation between the reality and the representation of the reality, is another theme he works on.
