A resident of Bargny, Mandoye Mbengue draws her inspiration from the challenges and difficult moments she has encountered throughout her life. Faced with these recurring whirlwinds, she has chosen to transcend her thoughts into artistic creations, using an unusual and original color approach to bring her works to life.
Her paintings, mainly figurative, draw their inspiration from her childhood and the complex relationship between man and his environment. She explores themes such as memory, tradition and the relationship between culture and the history of her region.
