ART WORK IN PROGRESS

I haven't finished my collection the quest for the absolute. I continue and I show you the work of his last days.






I prepare canvas with mortar. After the mortar has dried out, I carve in my images with steel brushes, scrapers and metal pencils. This is how I create a relief painting. When I add different colours to the mortar, this artwork can be completed. But most of the times this relief is the foundation for a painting. The painting starts when the relief is completely dried out.

Unfortunately, when our destiny is in Others' Hands, we are subjected to their choice . Even if I perfectly understand the parent's benevolence , who think that art, (especially in Algeria), isn't a career of the future.  On the one side, they are not wrong, how many times have I been asked the question: "What do you do for a living? ». I say: "visual artist". And they a...

The Art of Calligraphy: Faiza Bayou’s Eternity Series : The elegantly rich art of calligraphy has its place in the Arabic and/ Islamic culture. As stated by historians, the art of calligraphy, including its trade, was born in the was born in the first Islamic century.
