Ayoub El Mouden is passionate about Moroccan heritage
August 11, 2021 Kingdom of Morocco
A celebration of prose, affiliations, and dreams that are sometimes mythical, and close to nature at other times, the works of the young painter Ayoub Al-Moudin assert themselves and are confirmed in the pictorial world of this self-educated person who lives and works in Casablanca, where there is located, brutality, friendships, stars, and the imprints of Moroccan culture. However, he continues his discoveries made of shifts, shocks and flares as the webs of his vast network settle.
Kindness and trust are common to Job, they are easily detected and combined with intelligence.
Interior, with the lights and dazzle that he displays in his work, there is no doubt that this portends a completely unique and personal vision, and not just accidents. It is about highlighting the Moroccan intangible heritage in all its splendor and protecting Moroccan culture, in its broadest sense, from the age of loss and oblivion because, otherwise, according to the artist. We are all, Moroccans and citizens of the world, who will lose everything by seeing them staring at the “harbi”, “palaces”, “minarets”, “fountains”. Al-Rahat... in the face of the erosion of time, they believe that their sustainability is threatened by the challenges of urbanization and buoyancy on the one hand, and the transformation that society is experiencing. Moroccan, on the other hand, it is urgent now to raise the level of awareness among citizens and decision-makers about the threats to this heritage and to work to re-appreciate these foundational elements of Moroccan culture. It is a priority for the country’s identity, but it is also a great opportunity that presents itself. This is the message that Ayoub Al-Moudin wants to convey through his various pictorial works, such as The Magician. This winner of the Best Young Arab Artist Award in the New Realism section, which was recently held in London, creates compositions that are often stunning and rich in poetry, but they are always captivating. He appears with this series as an artist who enjoys With drawing, as is evident from the flows of matter and the changes of rhythm in the gestures: heavy and solemn rhythms, and lyrical and absolute chords like music, he develops variations on a theme. The musical element with its different essence is the tradition.

Elsa Victorios
USA
I did this work in 2021 inspired by the situation we are experiencing in the world due to COVID 19. We had to be confined to protect ourselves from the virus. The whole world was in constant agony watching people die. We had to learn to see life from different perspectives in order to survive. The world closed its doors but our minds remained alert to know how to move forward.

Solaris is a homage to the science fiction novel of the same name by Stanislaw Lem, based on the history of a psychologist (George Clooney) sent to investigate the unexplained behavior of key scientists on a space station orbiting the planet Solaris. Once aboard he, too, falls victim to this unique world's mysteries -- as well as to an obsession with someone he thought he had left behind.
Being an artist whose professional expertise is in the fields of Mathematics and Cybernetics is not a common profile. This gives me an unusual perspective when I am proposing and defining my work. My interpretation of the environment is deeply affected by the criteria shaped by my formal education. Abstract art allows me to take a deep look and experiment inside any existing reality. Abstract art is not just a simple instrument to describe what is hidden by the boundaries of life and by the matter surrounding me, but it allows me to recreate those boundaries, through imagination
The proposal by the theme of OLD FUTURE has brought to my attention several projects I have been involved by my imagination. As soon as I received the invitation, I realized I should be part of it.
