PROFILE

After finishing a four years study at Art school in 1999, I did a three year study in animation-film in Dakar until 2001. From 2001 I worked at several projects for the Senegalese animation-studio, Pictoon, for one year. One project was for example Kabongo, an animation TV-series. In the autumn 2002 I went to Norway on a project in cooperation with Fredskorpset for one year. There I worked and studied web-design at Mediefabrikken, witch is a combined school and film-producer.

In 1999 I stared an association, called Art Express, together with five other artists. Our aim is to organise work-shops and exhibitions for young artists from all over the world.

In 2003 and 2004 I have had several projects in Dakar. At the moment I live and work in Oslo.
