Ismael Diabaté began his painting activity when he became orphan and felt the need to translate their feelings in the absence of his mother.

Ismael uses techniques of his country in combination with natural elements such as mud and wood from native trees such as Galamá or Pegú, that allow permanent printings. For instance, in his elaborate Bogolans works (pigments and land dusts on cotton fabrics), Ismael applies both traditional and vanguardist techniques.

You can also watch the movie "Mali, The Hope of the Earth", by the Spanish director Alfonso Domingo.
