Cette œuvre s’inspire du romantisme des librairies indépendantes et de leur capacité à transporter les visiteurs dans des mondes imaginaires à travers les histoires. La texture du verre rayé et la silhouette douce du lecteur à l’intérieur évoquent la façon dont les livres et les lieux vieillissent avec grâce, porteurs de souvenirs et de marques du temps. Le charme des librairies parisiennes et l’attrait de la réflexion silencieuse ont guidé cette composition.

J’espère que les spectateurs ressentiront une curiosité mêlée de chaleur, comme s’ils avaient découvert un portail secret vers un autre monde. Le contraste entre la porte bleue vive et l’intérieur faiblement éclairé évoque un désir d’exploration et le réconfort des histoires. Je veux que les spectateurs réfléchissent à l’intimité des livres et des lieux, tout en imaginant la vie de la personne à l’intérieur.

La photographie capture des moments fugaces et souvent négligés avec une authenticité et une texture uniques. Le sujet — une librairie parisienne chaleureuse — symbolise universellement le savoir et l’évasion. Le style met en valeur les contrastes : le verre poli mais marqué, l’atmosphère vibrante mais ancienne. Le cadrage à travers la porte offre une perspective intime et légèrement voyeuriste, invitant le spectateur à s’arrêter et à s’émerveiller. Cette approche intemporelle célèbre le charme de la quiétude dans un monde en mouvement.

My passion for photography emerged in my childhood, thanks to an old camera given to me by my father. Although it no longer worked, this gesture created a deep bond between the love I have for him and my nascent love for the art of capturing moments. My Franco-Moroccan roots nourish my artistic vision, enriching my aesthetic choices and the sensitivity of my compositions. The fusion of these two cultures encourages me to explore the beauty hidden in the banality of everyday life, where moments of calm, solitude and reflection intersect to give birth to universal stories.

My work is characterized by a minimalist style that leaves an important place for space. Each photograph, each composition, each color, is an invitation to introspection, a tribute to this duality between simplicity and complexity. Photography captures the ephemeral, the suspended moment, a breath of serenity that invites contemplation. Through the lens, I seek to make the invisible visible, to immortalize the discreet beauty of moments that escape us, to offer the viewer a space of silent questioning, where each detail carries a unique emotion.

On the other hand, my abstract painting embodies a different energy, more spontaneous and gestural. Where photography freezes time, painting frees it. Energetic brushstrokes, vibrant colors and disordered shapes blend to create a visual dynamic that testifies to the intensity of the present moment. The layers of superimposed colors, sometimes chaotic, sometimes harmonious, seek to express raw emotions, intense feelings that cannot be frozen in a frame. The contrast between bright colors and darker shades brings a depth that resonates like an inner explosion, a vision of a world in constant motion. Each canvas is an invitation to feel, to surrender to the energy of the gesture and the exuberance of color.

These two styles, both complementary and distinct, are the expression of the same quest: that of capturing the invisible, of exploring the complexity of our emotions and our relationship to the world. Calm and introspective photography meets energetic and liberated painting in an artistic approach that seeks to capture both the serenity and spontaneity of the human experience, offering everyone (I hope) a unique emotional journey, between calm and effervescence, between reflection and raw energy.
