Hassiba Kessaci

Hassiba KESSACI is a painter, illustrator and etcher based in Rennes ( France ). Her artworks have to do with the Real. The intention is the emergence of the Absent whether he is the conscious prisoner of the unconscious, the meaning blurred by nonsense, the sensitive cut by reason, the elsewhere confronted with anchoring.

Implicitly, it is a question of alienation and of getting out of this captivity to allow the entry of the Real.

The inspiration can come from Fashion that can evolve in other fields like cinema, drama, music... Fashion as an emanation of the human condition : between spirituality and desire, individuality and society, sensitiveness and rationality, the question of gender.
