I was born in the Republic of Djibouti and I have constantly joined in my youth an artistic environment, I developed very early a taste for art. I worked in the setting up of events, being part of a particular artistic environment.
I discovered an irresistible attraction to painting at the age of 19, I immigrated to Canada and worked with a local organization that creates art in specialized communities by offering art workshops to the Ottawa community for my painting that reflects African culture, then I set up a small studio in the basement of my family's home as a freelance artist, thanks to my privileged relationship with the local communities, I carved out a place for myself with a prestigious clientele.
I also took the opportunity to present my paintings in several exhibitions in Ottawa in the early 1995's. After visiting Toronto and exploring new opportunities, I fell in love with the city of Toronto.
I decided to move to Toronto in 1995 and felt the need to express myself through art, gradually pushing to pick up my brushes. In 2000, I returned to exhibiting and it was immediately noticed that my paintings and inspirations are unique skills describing the beauty of nature.
