\u201cI paint\u2026 As I breathe\u201d
If my discovery of art was late, I knew immediately that I was inhabited by this new passion<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\nAt first, my ego took over everything, I<\/span><\/strong> thought I had a super power, and everything I<\/span><\/strong> did seemed incredibly beautiful! However, for more than ten years, I was very poor \u2026 but very enthusiastic! No matter how others looked, that energy was stronger than anything\u2026 stronger than me<\/span><\/strong>. Spinoza said: \u201cIt was divinely written in my heart\u201d<\/p>\nMihoub is not a “blaze”, it’s my real name! Which means “the gift”<\/span><\/strong> in Arabic. And as Zizou says so well… Talent is good, but if you don’t work on it, that’s not everything.<\/p>\nOne day, I finally accepted and understood that my gift was to allow myself to be influenced by divine creation<\/span><\/strong>.
So I worked. I no longer seek to do what I want, but with what I have. The different choices, the alternations of rhythm and all the actions follow one another at such a speed that reflection has no place. The ego puts itself at the service of the creator and I<\/span><\/strong> become a tool<\/span><\/strong> among tools, the extension of something bigger than my little person. It is this ability to connect that I decided to explore.<\/p>\nThe story of Jean Todt<\/span><\/strong>, a former French rally co-driver who became director of Peugeot and then of Ferrari, reinforced my decision-making.
He deepened his area of expertise like no one before him, he transformed the job of co-driver and revolutionized the motor racing industry.
He also had the brilliant idea of collaborating with C\u00e9sar Baldaccini\u2026<\/p>\nBefore being an artist, I am a researcher<\/span><\/strong> who uses painting as a means of exploring one’s inner potential.
It is by developing this ability to produce works of art that resemble me from the inside, with ever greater rigor, that I have become the spectator<\/span><\/strong> of my own creation.<\/p>\nToday, words<\/span><\/strong> have regained an important place in my work, the curves<\/span><\/strong> of the letters join those of my wacky characters and give birth to a comic strip<\/span><\/strong> on canvas.<\/p>\nDepending on the universe in which I decide to travel, I set a technical framework and I let my imagination do the rest. The products are superimposed on each other, with their drying times, they guide the entire process of assembling the work. An expansion of my inner world, through an alchemical and artistic quest<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|70px|0px|70px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|40px|0px|40px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” animation_duration=”600ms” animation_delay=”500ms” animation_speed_curve=”ease” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|20px|||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Familjen Grotesk|700|||||||” header_font_size=”70px” header_letter_spacing=”-3px” header_2_font=”Familjen Grotesk||||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”44px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-4px” custom_margin=”30px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”25px|||||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” header_2_font_size_tablet=”80px” header_2_font_size_phone=”40px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_letter_spacing_tablet=”-4px” header_2_letter_spacing_phone=”-4px” header_2_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The surrealists<\/span><\/strong> were my first source of inspiration.<\/p>\nJackson Pollock<\/span><\/strong> was also inspired by the surrealists and he \u201cbroken the ice\u201d with his action painting.<\/span><\/strong> His works had an incredible consistency in his mind and on the canvas. He was the first artist to unconsciously develop an acceleration of his cognitive functions in the creative process.<\/p>\nOver time, the codes of contemporary art began to classify me in the art brut<\/span><\/strong> box.
Dubuffet<\/span><\/strong> gave a definition that could have corresponded to me during my first years of painting: \u201cHe who makes art brut does not know that he is making art\u201d. But I know that I make art and I prefer the quote from Socrates<\/span><\/strong>: \u201cAll I know is that I know nothing\u201d.<\/p>\nMy inspirations are more and more philosophical and spiritual: Socrate<\/span><\/strong>, Carl Yung<\/span><\/strong>, Mathieu Ricard<\/span><\/strong>, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Lenoir<\/span><\/strong>, Spinoza<\/span><\/strong>, Eckart Tolle<\/span><\/strong>\u2026
And I’m still fascinated by the work of painters like Soulages<\/span><\/strong>, Renoir<\/span><\/strong>, Vermeer<\/span><\/strong>, Van Gogh<\/span><\/strong>, Picasso<\/span><\/strong>, Basquiat<\/span><\/strong>, Munch<\/span><\/strong>\u2026 or even Cecily Brown<\/span><\/strong> and Georges Condo<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\nToday I can say that I am a conscious artist<\/span><\/strong>.
When I paint, my thoughts gradually fade away to give way to the creative flow of mindfulness. That’s how I paint: I do and I let it happen, it’s like a dance or a ballet<\/span><\/strong>, everything is in harmony at each stage of creation. What matters to me is what I feel when I work: directly connected to the soul of the world, I listen to my inner sonar.
A quest for absolute happiness<\/span><\/strong> that I translate on my canvases with humour, glory and beauty.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|70px|0px|70px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|40px|0px|40px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” animation_duration=”600ms” animation_delay=”500ms” animation_speed_curve=”ease” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|20px|||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Familjen Grotesk|700|||||||” header_font_size=”70px” header_letter_spacing=”-3px” header_2_font=”Familjen Grotesk||||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”44px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-4px” custom_margin=”30px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”25px|||||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” header_2_font_size_tablet=”80px” header_2_font_size_phone=”40px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_letter_spacing_tablet=”-4px” header_2_letter_spacing_phone=”-4px” header_2_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

“My favorite canvas<\/span><\/strong> is the one I’m going to do!” Pierre Soulage<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe five universes that I present to you are the result of an analysis of my production over the past two years (about 100 canvases): they offer a global vision<\/span><\/strong> of my artistic style to date.
My work is in perpetual expansion<\/span><\/strong>, it remains identifiable, but I cannot say that I have arrived somewhere…
What matters is the journey<\/span><\/strong>… Isn’t it?<\/p>\nWith each new canvas, I seek to establish contact with the miracle of creation<\/span><\/strong>. To vary the pleasures and stimulate my creativity, I impose a technical framework<\/span><\/strong> on myself and I let go of the horses.<\/p>\nSometimes I can’t respect this framework and it then gives life to a new universe…<\/p>\n
