Ousmane Bâ

Ousmane Ba was born and raised in Strasbourg, France, near the German border. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués. Ousmane was inspired to become an artist while managing startups across Europe, where he developed analytical skills alongside a deep understanding of human psychology and design.

He found creative inspiration in Japanese art and decided to move to Japan in 2017 to further develop his artistic style. His work has been exhibited in various Japanese galleries, including FUKAGAWA GARAGE and the Trunk Hotel. Today, Ousmane is taking a new direction in his practice. He sees himself as a wanderer between painting and digital drawing, always searching for an Eldorado, a vision of inner peace.
