Physician of the body, observer of the soul, devotee of human psychology and wisdom; his journey across Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Spain, and France nurtures a gaze upon the human being that never separates the biological from the profound.
Through his writings, the author shares his literary universes: medicine as a gateway, the body as a silent teacher, psychology as a path of observation, and wisdom as a horizon. Universes that converge into one; that of the human being in search of their own normality.
