Born in Geneva, Seika is a self-taught graffiti artist and visual artist. Her work began with research into lettering styles. She has been painting in the street since 1997, and her training as a screen printer led her to turn to color and the world of illustration and publishing. She quickly felt the need to represent the human figure. <\/p>\n
Her travels and love of Africa led her to become a member of the RBS crew, based in Senegal. She paints the faces of children, women and men she meets on her travels. <\/p>\n
Sculpting colorful, realistic figures, often based on her own photos, with her own distinctive touch and sensitivity, she questions being and defends humanist, feminist and pan-African values. Her intense portraits never leave you indifferent, challenging those who look at them: a face-to-face encounter with themselves. <\/p>\n
