Shomali graduated from the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa in 2004 and from the École supérieure des arts décoratifs in Strasbourg in 2008. The artist acknowledges that his art carries a social responsibility: "Art is like a tight-fitting jacket and I don't know how to put it on. I always have an inner fear that I won't be able to soothe the collective anxieties that only art can calm.
