Close to literature and especially poetry, he has developed what he calls an “aesthetics of creation”. Having spent several years in Spain, he witnessed the slow deterioration of living conditions there and translated these deep changes into his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn art in rupture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEzzouguari cannot conceive his work outside the essential social questions facing Moroccan culture.
