After many years of style research and uncomfort zones he decided to move forward by taking a break.
He started to do wall painting with a collective of artists in Dakar in a school Cours Sainte Marie de Hann .Fascinated by Picasso and much involved in social living and environment, he started to develop new concept, funny forms, lines and symbolic equipment like hat, shoes, bags and so on…
