Ahmed Bennani, born in 1976 in Fez, Morocco, is a contemporary artist and self-taught photographer, and he defines himself as “plastic artist”. Consistently receptive to criticism, today he produces entirely unique artwork, imbued with aestheticism, emotion and conviction
His working with different styles allows him to find his own way to realize his passion and his capacities.
Bennani creates artworks via body, time, and space, making it a three dimensions work.
“Beneath sensual, thin veils, we can make out the shapes of female bodies, without ever seeing any faces.” Ahmed Bennani asks questions about women and their freedom, focusing on the veil which confines them. In the darkness, circles of light make bodies appear. We recognize the curves of human bodies through the contrasting colors and textures, although tone-on-tone compositions are common.
The artist gently expresses his ideas on paper, guided by a feeling of sensitivity.
