Biography
Moussa Tine was born on 10 March 1953, in Ndiane, in the Thiès Region, Senegal. His first job as a young boy was working as a ticket taker and announcer for car rapide (Senegalese mini buses). He started his pursuit of art in the 1970s by painting motifs and signs on the car rapide.
Tine furthered his arts education and graduated in 1978 from the École Nationale des Beaux Arts (Senegal).
His paintings have sculptural elements, and often contain discarded materials such as metal and wood. He was a founding member of ANAPS (Association of Visual Artists of Senegal).
In 1992–1993, Tine's work was included in the traveling group exhibition of fifty Senegalese artists called, Dream, Myth, and Reality: Contemporary Art From Senegal, sponsored by the National Gallery of Senegal in Dakar, and the Meridian International Center in Washington, D.C.. In 2014, Tine's work was exhibited at the Tafeta in London, through the Mille Arts Foundation with part of the sales going to the Red Cross Ebola Outbreak Appeal.
