His training then leads to Tokyo where he attended successively studies in japanese painting(nihonga),graphic design and finally digital textile printing.
  The artist has devoted a significant part of his activities to dyeing fabrics but it is his work as a painter that he exhibits between Japan, Senegal and France. Many influences are felt in his paintings representing a firework of colors that do not yet mask the delicacy of his work and maturity.
