You can immediately recognize Dieyes work with his peculiar metaphorical language in collage drawings and paintings. Dieye observe his surrounding and are interested in the chaos that he is exposed to. In Ibrahima Dieyes work you find mysterious signs and animal hybrids, almost like they come from an urban everyday life fable. One could interpret his pictures of the humanize animallike creatures as symbols of the loss of the garden of Eden and the alination of the wild nature.
