Abdellah El Haitout
b. 1971, Morocco

"Painting is the only way for us to remain children."

Abdellah El Haitout, is an established Moroccan artist. In his earlier years, Abdallah studied art, philosophy and psychology, which have no doubt, influenced his creative mind and subsequent practice. At first glance his work appears chaotic and incomprehensible, but after spending some time scanning and reflecting on his creations, we can see past experiences, representation of material objects and playful movement.

Abdallah says, "I like the intimate act. The superposition of different material and paint highlight the theme of concealment and transparency with mixed media like acrylic, ink and pens. I add these necessities of drawing and graphics, I try to be as simple as I can. I am currently looking for challenges imposed by this act of exploring intricacies. The main objective of this intervention is to solve the aesthetic exercise, as well as to diversify and enrich my pictorial and visual language. And before all that, I try to be as simple and spontaneous as possible throughout."
