SAID MESSARI, is a Moroccan artist who has lived and worked in Madrid, Spain since 1980. He has exhibited in Spain, Morocco, Brazil, France, Poland, Italy, Syria and Chile. In the words of the Spanish artist, Rafael Canogar; "The work of Said is essentially in the realm of the plastic arts, rich in metaphors and with dimensions which transcend the purely two dimensional pictorial plane. At times, his work is a broken space, drilled and scarred - a battle field between the artist and his creation where the material itself is a testament to this hand to hand combat. At other times, the surface area of his work literally grows with the incorporation of elements and extra-pictorial objects. Astutely, Said gives these objects a new iconographic dimension as the carriers of ideas and messages. Intrigued by its sensitivity and expressiveness, I shall become an enthusiastic follower of Said Messari's work from now on".
