Biography

Born in 1966 in Casablanca, Fatiha Zemmouri live and works between Casablanca and Marrakech.
She is graduated from Casablanca Art School.

Throught a polymorphic artwork, Fatiha Zemmouri carries a thorought thinking around the notion of construction, deconstruction, regenation and transformation.

She develops an elaborated work in wich the natural phenomenons (water, fire, earth) and materials such as wood coal, and dirt have an essantial place.

In all her works, Fatiha uses an abstract vocabulary to simplify nature’s shapes , the fragility and the thinness of the employed materials give to her artworks a poetical aspect.

ARTIST SATEMENT

Fatiha Zemmouri is an artist who aims to be materialistic in the sense where the exploration of an expanded palette of materials is at the heart of her work. The game of polyphony is used to accentuate the chronology that marks the different stages of the process of development and evolution of material itself.

What interests her most in the metamorphosis, it is this in between : to analyze the complex mechanism of transformation and to highlight the notion of time that elapses between the starting object and the transformed object.

Loaded with tension, her works mark the various phases of the human mutation
and its evolution during the cycle of the life. The symbolism of the materials is an allegory through which Fatiha examines universal concerns related to humanity, to the tragedy of the existence, to the man facing his destiny and to the question of his finitude.
