To do what I am, and to be what I do ... My only goal is actually doing what I am, and humbly being what I do ... It is not an easy task : we split ourselves into so many facets that sometimes it can be difficult to find the way to the real self ...I was born in 1953 in High Volta (Burkina Faso).I am fond of strength and movement, I paint with my heart as my hand merely holds the conductor?s baton ; music must be strong and sincere, a mixture of volumes and lights. The circle is the fundamental basis of my teaching technique: everything is circles and curves, nature did not invent the straight line, the latter simply being a human illusion (one more on the list). I painted my first oil canvass at the age of six,. Since then I signed more than 1.000 canvasses and 10.000 drawings. It is frustrating and stimulating at the same time : I have the impression of being a beginner, of a having still a lot.
