STAGE 1 to 3 : Exploration of the question : Who are we outside language and culture ?

First stage in my artistic journey, 7-year stay in South and Central America

My objective was to create three exhibitions in strategic points of the spanish conquest of the Americas. My father is an immigrant form the Algerian war, he escaped from his native country when he was 15, leaving alone with her younger sister on a boat. Of spanish origins, his family has been in Algeria for two generations. Is this why I wanted to reconquer the New World but this time through art and openess ? At the age of 20, I felt the need to purify memories, to go beyond the system proposed by the political sphere, to deepen identity.

With the help of intensive meditation and shamanism, I explored identity. The works painted during this period express this exploration.
