Khadim GUEYE known as Kha Bamba was born on October 20, 1991 in Diourbel, Senegal. He lives and works in Dakar, precisely in Hamo 6, Guédiawaye. In 2013 he passed the entrance exam to the National School of Arts of Senegal (ENA) for training in visual arts and obtained his National Diploma of Fine Arts (DNBA) in 2017, graduating with honors in visual communication. Inspired by his mother, a seamstress, and his uncle, artist Papa Ibra TALL, who did tapestry, a precursor of art in Senegal, he chose textiles as a medium and which he considers a material that has the power to define the identity of a community or a country. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally. His vibrant abstract expressionist pieces are a fusion of cultures, traditions, and the exploration of his own identity and humanity in general. Kha Bamba combines embroidery and painting techniques with textiles and acrylics on canvas or fabric.
