« Signs constitute this extraordinary relationship between the graphic and the metaphysical, or the mystical. »

Mbaye Babacar Diouf is a young Senegalese painter whose graphic work uses symbolism to examine human relationships. After training at l’École Nationale des Arts in Dakar, Diouf worked as an art teacher while simultaneously working on personal projects. In his painted work, he aims to capture and express the richness and simplicity of symbols as well as their metaphysical dimension. As a metaphor for social signals, signs allow Diouf to think through human relationships and the presence of the individual in his social context.
