Mounia El Yaakoubi

Mounia El Yaakoubi is a contemporary Moroccan abstract artist known for her deeply emotional, hand-painted acrylic artworks that explore themes of pain, healing, and hope. Based in Morocco, her creative journey began as a powerful way to overcome personal struggles—including depression and the challenges of raising a child with autism.

Through abstract expressionism, Mounia transforms her internal battles into stunning visual stories that connect deeply with viewers. Her art is a blend of vibrant textures, symbolism, and emotional energy that speaks universally.

She is quickly becoming a notable name in the world of African contemporary art, with her works featured in Moroccan media and presented in several national exhibitions. Each of her pieces is one-of-a-kind, reflecting her commitment to authenticity and emotional truth.

Her vision: to heal through art and inspire others to find hope, even in the darkest moments.
