Ousmane Ba was born and raised in France, Strasbourg, at the border
with Germany. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from L’Institut Su-
périeur des Arts Appliqués. Ousmane was inspired to become an artist
while managing startups in Europe, developing analysis capabilities also
understanding human psychology and design. He found inspiration in
the Japanese arts and decided to move to Japan to develop his style in
2017. He has shown his work in a variety of Japanese galleries such as
FUKAGAWA GARAGE or Trunk Hotel. Today, Ousmane takes a new
course in his work. He considers himself a vagabond between painting
and digital drawing, always searching for Eldorado, promised by a pic-
ture of inner peace.
