Born in 1971 in a village near Essaouira, Abdelmalek Berhiss is a Moroccan artist with roots in a working-class family. He began painting at an early age and joined the renowned Damgaard Gallery at just 19 years old. A self-taught artist, Berhiss explored various mediums and techniques, from painting to sculpture, developing a style that captures the imagination.<\/p>\n
His compositions are distinguished by their soft, rounded lines and the rhythmic repetition of gestures, reflecting a boundless, musical creativity. This unique style draws inspiration from the artist\u2019s ancestral legends and rich Moroccan cultural heritage, weaving these influences into captivating works.<\/p>\n
Berhiss has exhibited extensively, both in Morocco and internationally. His works have been showcased at the Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Damgaard Art Gallery (1990, 1992, 1995, 2004), the International Biennale of Casablanca (2014, 2016), and the Marrakech Biennale (2016). Beyond Morocco, his art has been featured in Germany (Wuppertal Museum), Switzerland (Museum of Art and Culture of America), Portugal and France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
