"Born in Africa, shaped by the French language and European influence, and living in the United States for over fifteen years, the artist brings a layered cultural perspective to the work. A childhood dream of painting was once set aside in favor of more conventional paths, only to be rediscovered later through fatherhood. Long an observer of life; of love, grief, silence, and endurance, the artist creates quiet spaces where viewers can encounter themselves without explanation." - @dm_lbb
