Born in Dakar (Senegal) the 5th of October 1969, he began to pratice art when he was a child (14 years old). His mother never wanted him to play outside in the streets with other children. So, always at home as a student, during the long afternoons he dedicated himself to paintings.
As a teen-ager he starts drawing with good results, and partecipates at many inter-school competitions that he won thanks to his talent. From now on he found his path into the surrealistic art.
Self-taught in his practice and realist in his inspiration, put his art to the service of the public.
Now, he lives in Italy, since many years in the heart of Versilia between
the mountains and the sea in Forte dei Marmi. Ariss turns to modern art again after a long personal story.

Two of his sayings:

“The person who traited his conscience and doesn't respect the universal way is the poorest in the world”

“The blind has other to do than leap over the wells”
