Surrounded (21) Pittura da Latifa Lahouaoui

Latifa’s art is vibrant and bold, instinctively imbued with ambiguity, and consumed by overlapping figures, stacked so densely that they resemble a ritual.

She draws intuitive inspiration from her amazigh/berber heritage and its art, which is often distinguished by a vivid and intense palette. Her travels and love for enriching cultures have contributed immensely to her creativity and identity. She treasures diversity in nature and lets her vision interpret it strikingly in an amalgam of multi-dimensional work.

Latifa was born in 1972 in Essaouira (also known as Mogador), a fairy-tale fortification with a picturesque port. The city boasts a thriving intersection of world cultures and is a hub for contemporary Moroccan art, overflowing with galleries, self-taught masters, poets, craftsmen and musicians.

She graduated in business administration in France, where she also studied communication and advertising. In 1996 she began a career in finance and banking, which took her first to London and later to Dubai.

Alongside her professional career, she participated in group exhibitions, with some of her work being acquired by private collectors.

In 2018 the lifelong art enthusiast moved to Sevilla, where she fully dedicates herself to her one true passion: painting.
