Venezia (2020) Sculpture by Zenzivi Nora Yahiaoui

Coming from an environment where the question of art was not on the list of priorities, it was only belatedly that I let myself be caught in the net of its subtleties, even its wanderings.

Virgin of any official teaching, I amuse myself with this ignorance and circumvent the classic framework of protocol rules. Without artistic pedigree, I have neither master nor model. Thus I remain detached from the precepts which sometimes surround the artist too closely in a creation which could then appear as a transfer of world-class references.

Imagination is the raw material of my achievements, but above all, I pride myself on creating only in the unique direction of my sensitivity. My work is organized in the chronological disorder of my faithful thoughts, I exercise it artistically as if to save my skin...Claustrophobic for real, my proposals testify to the prison feeling felt in the broad sense of the term and which like billions of neighboring or distant fellow citizens, sometimes prevents me from apprehending life as a precious commodity that must be consumed without moderation.
