Biography
Born in Tunis on February 2, 1943 in a modest, united family. When I was born my father was away, prisoner by the Germans, he was released when I was 3 months old. In 1962 I left my native land for France. I work, and get married in 1963. I had 2 children, 7 grandchildren and a great grandson. I began to paint shortly after my arrival in Paris and took part in group exhibitions. In 1974, I was expatriated in Ivory Coast with frequent trips to West and Central Africa. This obliges me to maintain contact with my relatives and painting, to have multiple trips between Africa and France. In February 2003, I left Africa and devoted myself fully to my Art.
