Artist's Statement
ABOUT MY PICTORIAL APPROACH
"My painting is an invitation to meditation. The pictorial sign marked me at a young age. Having fundamental concerns of Tradition-Modernity, I developed a particular plastic expression associating the spirituality and the rigor of oriental calligraphy with the chance and the subjectivity of the Western gestuality.
The soft and warm tones are generated by the superposition of transparent layers, conferring additional depth and dimension.
The signs painted or engraved in the material are a plastic language inherited from the Moroccan cultural heritage which is part of the Universal Art. ''
