I was born in the rocky, sunlit mountains near Tiznit, in southern Morocco — a place where time moved slowly and silence spoke louder than words.
In the village at the time I was born, there was no real infrastructure, no reliable water or electricity, and certainly no art galleries.
Just stone, dust, and the rhythm of survival.

That raw simplicity shaped my early life.
It was primitive. Isolated. But also full of listening.

When my mother passed away giving birth to my sibling, something broke open inside me — a silence I couldn’t yet understand, but carried like a seed.
At 14, I left that world behind and moved to Essaouira to pursue my art studies.

Essaouira was wild — the wind never stopped.
The Atlantic howled through the streets like an invisible spirit.
I spent three years in art school, learning the rules of form and composition.
But over time, those rules began to feel like walls.
So I stepped away, choosing intuition over instruction.

Art, for me, has never been a career. It’s survival. It’s listening.

I paint faces — not to show what’s visible, but to reveal what’s felt.
The ache behind the eyes.
The faith we question.
The freedom we long for.

My portraits are emotional landscapes — part geometry, part prayer — blending flesh with spirit, shadow with light.

Today, I live and work in Essaouira, the city that called me back and finally settled here. 
Here, I create Spiritual Portraits — paintings infused with symbolism, archetypes, and sacred insight,

I also host art workshops and full-moon gatherings — moments of connection where creation becomes ritual, and where art becomes a path back to the soul.

My work isn’t meant to explain.
It’s meant to awaken.

To help you remember something ancient —
Something you thought was lost.

Artist journey

From early sketches in my hometown to exhibitions across the country, my art has evolved as a reflection of personal growth and cultural exploration. Each piece is a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, inviting viewers to find their own meanings.

Philosophy

I believe art is a bridge between souls. It’s not just about aesthetics but about connection, understanding, and healing. My works aim to resonate on a deeper level, stirring emotions and prompting reflection.
