Biography
I was born in France and grew up in Morocco. I received a BA in Interior Architecture in Lyon, France. I moved to London in 2014 to study for a Master's degree in Interior and Spatial Design at UAL - Chelsea College of Art and this during my thesis that I started to develop my work.
Growing up in the vibrant surroundings of Morocco has influenced my creative approach. Researching colour combinations and developing palettes is a significant part of my process. My background as an interior architect has shaped my passion for abstract geometry and composition. My goal is to combine these elements into a graphic visual language that is universally understandable.
I’m inspired by both the philosopher Michel Foucault’s notion of ‘Heterotopia’ or ‘in-between spaces’ and 20th surrealist painters, especially Magritte. My intent through my collages is to playfully explore our relationship with real and imaginative spaces. The simultaneous occupation of spaces, physically and mentally. Hence, two states of being. A conceptual combination of architectural, sturdy surroundings and dream-like, surreal aesthetics.
