Palais alhambra (2022) Painting by Zanoubia

For almost 80 years, the flower bouquet as a pictorial achievement has been totally absent. Nowadays, what counts is the shock, the game, the emotion, the disturbance, the Pop, the advertising icon, the globalized imagery and the photography. But here, against the current, the painter Zineb Slimani known as "Zanoubia", devotes herself to floral painting. Modeller/Stylist of career, she had launched in the creation of unique models of Moroccan Caftan which made its reputation. But, anxious to perfect her knowledge, she launches into the study of the history of Art and in that of the floral painting with oil on canvas. She likes to explain her choice: "I was looking in my subconscious, a possibility to give hope and the desire to continue to fight and live. For Zineb Slimani, "art is nature seen through a temperament. Thus, every day at home, new bouquets of freshly cut flowers bloom. The work of "Zanoubia", is elaborated without haste of a hand more and more firm. Zineb Slimani, to whom we can attribute the title of "Princess of Flowers" works her pieces and pursues her goal by bringing the warmth of her enthusiasm.
