ABOUT MY PICTORIAL APPROACH
"My painting is an invitation to meditation. The pictorial sign has marked me from a very young age. Having fundamental concerns of Tradition-Modernity, I have developed a particular plastic expression associating spirituality and the rigor of random oriental calligraphy and the subjectivity of western gestures. The soft and warm tones are generated by the superposition of transparent layers, which give depth and give the work an additional dimension. Painted or engraved signs in the material are a plastic language inherited from the Moroccan cultural heritage which is part of Universal Art.''
