Le petit pont de pierres Drawing

Professional artist with quotation, my beginnings in painting took place when I was ten years old, after my mother, on the recommendation of one of their painter friends, enrolled me in painting lessons in a workshop located in the center of Rabat, in Morocco. One day, the director of this workshop, who was also my painting teacher, summoned my mother and told her that I had a gift for painting and that I should be pushed in this direction. a professional painter who was also present confirmed her statements and asked if I could work exclusively with her. the agreement was given but four years later, my family and I had to leave Morocco for France. In the confusion caused by all these changes, I was not registered in a new workshop, but I continued to draw and paint for myself. Until a particularly dark period in my life, I destroyed a large part of my work, and ended up abruptly interrupting all artistic activity ... Ten years later, a beautiful day in 2006, after having received a box of watercolor pencils and a drawing block as a gift, I felt the flame go up again and I wanted to start painting and drawing again. The first days were awkward and I almost gave up because I had tremors due to partial epilepsy. But my family and friends encouraged me to continue and not to give up. Practicing almost self-taught (my four years in Morocco are so far that I had to relearn almost everything) has advantages and disadvantages that have shaped my art and my technique in a singular way. In figurative style, I work on instinct or from photos or on the motif. Although my themes are varied, I discovered a particular attraction for sacred painting; especially for the Bible, its characters and the pictorial interpretation of some of its scenes. Since [201?] I regularly practice this art in the workshop "L'Evangile au pinceau" located in Paris. Enthusiastic about the creative potential offered by digital, which I discovered in 2009, I now practice digital and traditional painting
