Omar Ba

Omar Ba is a Senegalese contemporary artist born in 1977 who works primarily in painting, creating richly layered works that blend figuration with dreamlike, mythological, and political narratives. His large-scale paintings often incorporate text, collage elements, and intricate patterning to explore themes of African identity, post-colonialism, power, and the human condition. Based between Dakar and Geneva, Ba has gained significant international recognition for his evocative and densely symbolic visual language.
