woman Painting by Hela Ammous

In the maze of art, between the din of the news and the calm of his personality, his works emerge as a response to a sensationalist social culture.

In the treatment of her subjects, she favors an approach that puts the themes of everyday life, everyday life, at the center of her projects, by associating a simple, playful and above all critical aspect. Resolutely oriented towards current affairs and contemporary art, in 2007 she defended a master's degree in arts sciences and techniques on "the current events of the Gulf War in contemporary art".

In 2011, just after the Tunisian revolution, she participated in an exhibition on the theme "madness under the dictatorial spirit" with a painting assemblage "life is elsewhere" produced in 2010 but which she could not exhibit because the work openly criticizes Ben Ali's policy.

His talent vibrates with current events, society, the world...

In 2012, she participated in an exhibition organized by the Italian Association "IL QUADRATO MODIGLIANESE" of the city of Modigliana (Italy), in collaboration with the Museum "KLEINSASSEN" of Hofbieber (Germany) and "EFESTO - Salon des Artistes" in la Marsa (Tunisia) on the theme of “the crisis”. The global crisis.

His artistic work is more a search for attitude than an exploitation of mediums. A ritualized practice that draws its source from what is there, from what meets his daily life.

In 2013, she participated in a multidisciplinary artistic event (theater, photography, archaeologist, sociology, dance, plastic arts). She presented an installation (in situ) and a performance. Space, movement, rhythm, colors and technical sobriety characterize his work. Whether with the exterior space or with the interior space, installation or performance, what brings first is the confrontation with reality. Pushing the boundaries of reality weaves the foundation of his work.
