FIRE DANCERS







Dream with God / My first Cover

Ok Well , how can I start?

        Almost One Year Ago , My pictures have been stolen by Ivorian newspapers. Disappointed , hurt or dishonored I don't know how to explain my feelings at that moment... I Jumped in a fight against  "Goliath" without actual plan, but I had support of my family and friends  and the Ivorian WebSphere to who I want to say a big big thank you for believing and supporting me... ( but this is not the point today)

   Then,Things got worse in my life ( so maaaany problems I can't even talk about ) I went through different phases after that such as doubt, anger, sadness Also,I was particularly afraid to show my pictures my work... In addition, with this oversea trip, my artistic production has been so reduced . I was feeling to waste my time in those academic classrooms... But as one of my dear fellow said :" One thing that an Artist can't lose it 's time "

" One thing that an Artist can't lose is time. " 

Time is granted by God. We have to use it efficiently. How many times did we get upset because we did not have things with wanted ? How many times did we cry for losing something, material things ? How many times did we stop believing because life seemed hard and our reality did not follows our expectations or the speed we have imagined ? So many times , I guess...

Time is granted by God. Don't use the 24 hours,that God give us everyday, to focus on negative thoughts. There are a lot of areas in a human life. When It is hard in one area  don't let it stop you and affect your whole life, concentrate in the several other areas : Dare to Dream !

Dream ! and don't stop believing.

Dream of better days , of better you , of better situations and look for means to achieve them. Be positive no matter what. Be positive and leave your burdens in God's hands.


As I said above, I spent almost a year without real artistic productions whereas I used to do photo shoots every weeks. But a couple days ago, I made the cover of my School's Official Newspaper ( Quel comble je dirai haha!!! ) with my pictures of a dance show in our theater  Furthermore, the editor chief just told me that those pictures are leading to my school's newspapers to win a prize at the end of the year....That can seem little, but mean a lot for me and THAT is the most important.
All the time spent to complain and be disappointed was not worthy, but trust in myself, get up and look for means to achieve my dreams lead to this reward, this gift...

Here is my first cover ( legally lol) :

Interior view - Hahaha they misspelled my name but it's ok :) 
I framed it :p


Thank you again for all the support. God Bless U.

And one more things I hope my words will be inspirational for you ...  Don't stop believing

Interview by Collectivus

Here is my first interview in US by Kiné Fall. We did the interview in French that she translated in English there



Qu'est-ce qui vous inspire pour prendre des photos? 
Pour mes photos je m’inspire de tout ce que j’ai comme image dans ma tete . tous mes vecus , et de ma personnalité . J’improvise parfois par rapport a ce que je trouve sur mes lieux de shoots qui vont dans le sens de ma pensée.

Quand avez vous commencé la photographie? 
J’ai commencé la photographie, il ya environ 2 ans maintenant . 

L'art est populaire dans votre Ville d'origine?
La photographie était encore pour un certain nombre de privilégiés mais ces derniers moi à Abidjan on assiste a une «  explosion » . Beaucoup s’essaient, d’autres révèlent des  véritables talents  encore cachés et les anciens s’affirment.

y at-il beaucoup de classes accessible? 
Alors là , pas du tout .

Pensez-vous que vous avez besoin d'une classe de vous apprendre la façon d'exprimer votre art? 
En toute chose il faut apprendre la technique. La technique permet de rentabiliser le potentiel et de l’utiliser a bon Essiant .Personnellement j’ai appris la majorité de ce que je rend  , en tatonnant  , par ce que c’est un domaine qui m’interesse vraiment . Mais je pense qu’une classe peut nous apprendre d’avantage a maitriser les techniques de bases de la photographie. Chaque artiste a un art qui lui est propre , qui le définit , sa vision . En gros Une classe permet d’apprendre les techniques pour pouvoir rendre vos idées mais ne peut pas en elle seule définir votre art. En Art chaque artiste peut choisir de briser les règles ou les suivre  mais il faut d’abord savoir de quoi il s’agit.

Que voyez-vous pour l'avenir de votre pays et le monde? 

Croyez-vous que l'art peut changer les choses?
Enormément , L’art est vaste et ses disciplines sont diverses  que ce soient la musique , la peinture ou la photographie  puisqu’on en parle . Chaque domaine de l’art peut a sa manière définir la pensée de certains ou changer la vision d’autres  , prendre conscience

Quel âge avez-vous? 
20 ans en Novembre. I am excited :D

Nommez quelques artistes qui vous admirent
Joana Choumali , Franck Hervé Agoua , Corine Azoumé , Mike Danon  , Sidiki Bakaba , Beyoncé 


Nail art

Today I want to talk about this fast growing trend : nail art . As you can see in my presentation I am kind of an artistic person. I can sing , I can dance , I can paint , I take pictures, I draw , I do portrait , I can even model clay ...

When it comes to a task demanding creativity or imagination I am always eager.But with,nail art my results are just awful lool ! I can't believe it. 
I still wonder how do they do all those details ... 

This is the work of one of my friend ! How beautiful it is !
Another friend's work - Melissa K 
















I have tried  my best loool . I remenber I saw a tutorisl on my friend blog . The processed seemed very simple but reality slaped me again lool .

How is it possible
Let's put it in small size . i am ashamed lol

Oh God ! I always had excuses such as I have relatively small nails ( and it's true !) or I don't have the right materials but I have to admit ...

We must respect nail art girls they are true artists!
