Fanny is a visual artist, researcher, and curator whose interdisciplinary practice explores the realm of the sensorial, where poetry, symbolism, and introspection converge. Holding an M.A. in Communication, she devoted her research to the women artists of the Black Arts Movement, drawing on bell hooks’ concept of the oppositional gaze. This theoretical framework continues to inform her reading of images, signs, and narratives, and shapes her creative approach.

Based between Dakar (Senegal) and Ottawa (Canada), Fanny develops a figurative body of work that engages our senses through drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and installations. Her visual language rests on a system of often image-based symbols. She plays with perception, analogy, and movement to craft images that oscillate between reality and a parallel world, like fragments of dreams.
