About Aboudia
Born
1983
Nationality
Ivorian, American
Also known as
Abdoulaye Diarrassouba
Aboudia is the professional name of Abdoulaye Diarrassouba, an Ivorian-American contemporary painter born in 1983. Public profiles place his practice between Abidjan and New York City, including Brooklyn. He is associated with large, densely layered canvases that combine acrylic, oil pastel, and collaged newspaper. Childlike or roughly drawn figures recur in descriptions of his work, alongside imagery connected to urban life in Abidjan and the effects of civil conflict. These materials and subjects give his pictures a visibly constructed surface in which drawing, painting, text, and pasted paper may overlap. Collectors most commonly encounter Aboudia through paintings and mixed-media works, while auction databases may also classify related material as works on paper, prints, sculpture, or editions. Because those database categories can be broad, identifying the actual medium, support, date, and attribution of an individual object remains essential.

Common works and media
The best-supported descriptions emphasize large-format, layered canvases made with acrylic, oil pastel, and newspaper collage. Figurative imagery, urban experience in Abidjan, and subjects connected with civil conflict appear in the collected biographical material. Appraisily's auction dataset also groups matched records under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Those are broad auction classifications rather than proof that every category is equally representative. Each submitted work should therefore be identified from its physical medium, support, dimensions, inscriptions, edition status, condition, provenance, and available documentation.
Market and appraisal context
Aboudia has a substantial body of matched public auction records, but a database summary should not be treated as a price prediction. Useful comparisons begin with works that align in medium, dimensions, date, subject, and surface complexity. Condition is particularly important for layered paintings and collages, where abrasion, lifting paper, restoration, or other changes may affect interpretation and value. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, signatures, inscriptions, and edition details can strengthen or weaken a comparison. Attribution should also be evaluated independently. Private transactions and incomplete feeds may not appear in public datasets, while reported realized prices can differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees.

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction evidence is an appraisal starting point, not a conclusive valuation. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/aboudia/
- Private transactions, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent from the available records. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/aboudia/
- Realized-price reporting may differ in its treatment of buyer's premiums and fees, so comparable results should be normalized where possible. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/aboudia/
