HANBALI RACHID
ESPANA
Rachid Hanbali was born in 1970 in Sidi Ifni. He was a prize-winner of the National School of Fine Arts Award in Tétouan, Morocco, and of the University of the Fine Arts, Granada, Spain. In 2009, at Beijing’s International Festival of Contemporary Art he received the Creativity Award from the Ministry of Culture of China. He lives and works in Granada, Spain.
Hanbali’s paintings refer to Morocco’s landscapes and its people. In his atmospheric depictions he retains light and colour, expressing an emotional response to the subject and his inner world. With his perfectly mastered brushwork Hanbali creates shifting patterns of the natural scene, a portal for an exploration of the sublime. His iconic pictorial presentations tell of his affection for Moroccan splendour.
