ASSALMI MOHAMED

MOHAMED ASSALMI, born in 1961 in ERRACHIDIA in the south of Morocco.

I have about thirty years of career and have exhibited many times in various parts of the kingdom, from north to south. I would say that I am a painter rather converted into Impressionism and figurative: the nature of southern Morocco with all the impressions it gives, the magnificence of the Arabian horses, the fantasia, the feelings of complicity and friendship exhaled by The characters of the south, these are the major themes of my artistic production.

Painter of ambience to make dream, my artistic language devoid of any emphasis, simple and rich in metaphors, goes straight to the heart.

I was able to forge a name for myself, give me a status of full-fledged artist thanks to the maturity of my talent, mastery of knife technique, choice of themes treated and my daily quest for the unpublished And the absolute.

I developed a personalized style marked by depth and abundance and dedicated to the quest for identity conditioned by originality and a return to the roots. The act of painting in my house is not an empty word, I know how to exalt the beauty of my soil with a measure, to bite in a few traits or to paint the simplicity of the simple folk who still preserve intact their unalterable personality, their authenticity and their picturesque , Everything that is typically local and worthy of large pallets. My paintings are dreams.

Armed with my great sensitivity, my allusive painting highlights a nostalgia that reflects the deep look of Morocco plural through the movement and richness of colors and landscapes. I work on the universe of apparent beauty, spirit and art, by a path enriched by a singular pictorial experience continually questioned and contemplations drawn from evolutionary reflection.

Painter of nostalgic impressionism, I have cleverly mixed poems and chromatic magic in my paintings which bear witness to my incontestable talent.

My painting is a subjective interpretation of the wonders and magnificent picturesque southern Morocco, often forgotten and marginalized.

I share with the receivers the right to dream and the desire to revisit the abandoned places, capturing the most impressionistic details and traces of time through the effects of knife painting. It is a quest of oneself far from cliché of the stereotyped folk images and even a new way to give meaning to my plastic expression.

With this concept, I highlight the living memory of pluralistic Morocco, this rich and tolerant Métis Morocco is the one of all time. It is perpetuated through a legacy, a tradition that resists time, singing global citizenship based on dialogue and respect for others.
