Art as a tool in the search for identity
an exploration between abstraction and humanity by cherif Mama

POURQUOI JE PEINS
"I paint to tell what can't be told, to give shape to the silences and outbursts of the soul."
Since childhood, painting has always been my truest language. When words fail, colors take over.
I paint to translate what I feel about the world: its raw beauty, its contradictions, its tensions between individuality and wholeness.
My work is like a broken mirror: each fragment reflects a facet of human identity.
I borrow from cubism its freedom to deconstruct, and from abstraction its power of emotion.
I create fragmented faces, bodies infused with vibrant colors, to express the coexistence of differences - within us and around us.
For me, painting is about bridging the unspoken, giving form to what escapes language

ARTISTE HYBRIDE
“Exploring digital art and design allows me to push the boundaries of my creativity beyond traditional mediums.
Through digital techniques, I can experiment with textures, structures, and emotions in ways that physical materials sometimes limit. It’s a way to bridge the tactile world of painting with the dynamic possibilities of technology — creating new layers of identity, movement, and depth in my work.”
Trough design i extend my artistic vision into functional objects, transforming every items into emotional and visual experiences. It is identity made tangible
