Painter
Kenza Benjelloun
Born in Casablanca in 1966, Kenza Benjelloun graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca in 1992, then from the École des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence in 1995. She took part in several workshops, completed an artist residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and has also explored video art and installation.
The artist
"It is a permanent quest for the self, for that coveted silence we may never find again," she says of her work. Behind its apparent simplicity lies great complexity: monochrome has become her way of reaching silence. With almost no defined forms, a single colour and repeated, mute movements, her canvases are a struggle with herself. "Colour is not what matters in my work; it is the meaning of monochrome and the weight of silence it creates."
Working in red, blue and black, she builds layer upon layer towards a present, concrete material: "I am in the surface!" Small whirls scattered across the canvas bear witness to this inner confrontation. In 1995 she won second prize in Wafabank's Young Moroccan Painting competition.
