| Self taught, I started my career as a professional football player on the national Senegalese team until I arrived in France in 1977. In 1983, my athletic career ended due to injury, and I turned towards other activities. In the 90's, I came to realize that painting could be an authentic and unique way for me to express my deepest emotions. What was once only a hobby soon developed into a real passion. Inspired by the incomparable atmosphere of a Guinean friend's business, I decided to open my own restaurant, LE TERANGA, in Grenoble in 1998. I wanted to create a welcoming environment in which to promote cultural interchanges and to display my work. Today, as an artist-chef, I am still motivated by my desire to help people discover Senegalese culture, whether through my culinary art or through the exhibition of my new works inside the restaurant. |
