Through artistic eccentricity and polychromatic scenography, the moroccan artist Fatima Hassan El Farouj animates her canvas by accessing and traversing her personalized universe. Her representations of hybridized and reinvented symbols, motifs, and figures (be it humans or animals) attest to the dexterity and technicality of her visual memory. Fatima Hassan resorts to Moroccan iconography and Berber/Amazigh origins through a process that thwarts and erodes Westernized modes of expression. Her refreshing approach of figurative-surrealism embraces a mutation of contextual and geometric abstractions. In this collective portrait of ceremonial acts, the artist draws on her background in embroidery and traditional crafts as to imbue and populate her pictorial space with stratifications of patterns. The vigorousness of color and the saturation of space emphasize her profound cultural assiduity, which she sought to translate visually.
