Biography

Visual artist, Baye Ndiaga Diouf was born in Dakar (Senegal) in 1991. At the age when children still draw houses and figures, he starts abstract painting at about 10, using whatever he can get his hands on. He has art in his blood. As a young shepherd, he developed this passion, spending his time drawing the baobabs and the walls of Thiadiaye, the village that saw him grow. After completing his secondary school studies, he enrolled in the evening courses of the School, the National School of Fine Arts in Dakar, paying for his lessons thanks to his carpentry activities. Three years later, he finishes his studies and starts looking for his style.
To perfect his creativity, he approached the Agit ‘Art workshop which helped him progress, participated in intensive workshops at the Espace Medina and began participating in group exhibitions (Salon des Arts Visuels SégouʼArt in Mali, Salon dʼArt Contemporain de Dakar in the National Gallery). He lives in Dakar where he has set up his own workshop.
