Approach
A practice of matter and sign
Between painting, calligraphy and experimentation, the work questions Moroccan identity and heritage through matter, gesture and the memory of the sign.
Using colour is not, for me, a simple aesthetic choice. It is a language in itself, capable of conveying nuances of emotion and complex feelings that words cannot express.
