She works with paint on large canvases and creates her perception of reality which consists of themes inspired by her own life as a woman and of the universe of women in the Sahel; modernity versus tradition, round shapes, beauty.[1] The majority of her art works have a unique cubist style, portrayed by natural geometric structures.[2] Popularly known as Kine Aw was born in 1977 in Dakar, Senegal.[3][4] She graduated from the National School of Arts in Senegal in 2006.

Her approach, as she emphasized, is a way of guiding "traditional values in relation to the modern world". One of the most popular works in this selection, one of its most recent works is Féminine Nature, a nine-polyptych.
