Artist Statement
I am an abstract artist exploring emotional memory, inner landscapes, and the tension between fragility and strength.
Through layers of texture, transparency, and light, my paintings trace a journey from rupture toward reconstruction — where chaos softens and new balance emerges.
About me
I was born in Algiers and have lived in Switzerland for more than thirty years. My life and artistic path have been shaped by movement between cultures, histories, and personal transformations.
I began painting in the mid-2000s, first working with pastel and later with oil. Along the way, I explored different techniques, attended courses, and searched for guidance — always with the desire to learn, to understand, and to find my own visual voice. Over time, abstraction became that language — a space where silence, complexity, and emotion could exist without needing to be explained. In abstraction, I discovered the freedom simply to be.
My work evolved alongside my life experiences. Painting became a space of transformation, where intensity could settle into matter, and where memory could become texture, gesture, and light.
Today, my practice focuses on abstract emotional landscapes. Through layering, erosion, and subtle structural lines, I explore resilience, transition, and the quiet strength that emerges after rupture.
My paintings do not seek to illustrate events, but to evoke the inner spaces we all carry — places where tension and calm coexist, and where light is always present, even in the densest areas.
