Nadia Boulaaiche Hayoun painting artist originally from the city of Tetouan, northern Morocco, studied fine arts in her hometown, graduated from the University of Barcelona and obtained a master’s degree at the University of Granada (Spain). Nadia Boulaaiche exhibits her paintings in the gallery of the Reading Biscuit Factory Centre. Is an opportunity to get to know Moroccan art.
His works in this exposition represent two different trajectories of his artistic experience, paintings with a Moroccan-Arabic theme and style, such as the painting called “The Musicians”, and paintings from his training and residence in the West, in Spain, especially in Great Britain. Adopting a technique closer to abstract figurative painting and cold colours, such as the painting “A child thinking”. He says that the colours of this painting are inspired by some British paintings of cold and calm colours that convey serene and deep philosophical messages.
Nadia believes that exhibitions of Moroccan painters and artists in Britain are almost non-existent, and this is due to the interest of Moroccans to exhibit in European countries such as Belgium, France and Spain. Moreover, the Moroccan community is very small in Britain, barely a hundred thousand, while in France it is close to two million immigrants, and the larger the community, the more painters, writers and filmmakers it generates.
Nadia laments the lack of significant artistic cooperation between Morocco and Britain, despite long-standing historical relations. She says there is interest in the work of French artists such as the French De Lacroix and the Spanish Mariano Fortuny in the 19th century and others, but not in British artists who painted Morocco and Moroccan subjects in the 18th and 19th, even 20th century. She believes that the town of Reading, with its university, is well placed to develop artistic and cultural relations with Morocco.
