He was born in Saint Louis, Senegal and trained at the National School of Arts of Dakar. He will be participating in the Biannale "OFF" Exhibition in 2014.
His paintings are mixed media using photographs he has developed and washed out. He discovered the technique by accident when he came across some water damaged photos in a cupboard. He uses the photos to explore concepts of inward and outward identity and representation. He also explores duality by incorporating photographic negatives to use as as stand in for literal 'negatives' and the developed photos representing to the positive attributes. He states "by transcending duality and working towards peace, I can leave the negative behind."
