After high school, he became a mathematics teacher and simultaneously did a four years study in the arts under Brazilian arts professor, Paulo Lemos, who doubled as a missionary stationed in Cameroun for six years. His strength lies in figurative painting alongside visual art, using his exceptional penmanship with oil paint, acrylic paint and a ball point pen to depict the rawest most unfiltered human emotions in his artwork, earning him recognition as the ‘African Bic Art Master’ in the People’s Choice Awards and the Bic brand ambassador, where his theme was centred around “Life Talking about the everyday girl child happiness”. This work earned him a nomination as one of the best artists in Africa.

Tete-Katchan has had on numerous occasions, opportunity to use art as a medium for social development, by working on projects having direct impact on communities.VODOUHÈ devoted himself to drawing at a very young age in an attempt to find the features of a loved one who left far too soon. Since then, he has grown to become an artist who approaches his work with a fine mind and a steady hand without detour or concession.
