Amal Houdaf

I am a French-Moroccan painter based in France, at the crossroads of France, Switzerland, and Germany. Since 2020, I have explored memory, identity, exile, and transformation through acrylic and pastel. Inspired by borders, movement, and collective memory, I work with layers, erasures, and symbols to transform traces of displacement into spaces of passage where the visible meets the invisible.

I am a self-taught artist who has developed my practice through independent research, experimentation and continuous exploration of painting.
