Azeddine Sanana, born in 1965, in Essaouira, Morocco. A fisherman since his teenage years, he has spent much of his life working on small wooden boats and larger vessels for deep-sea fishing, often embarking on journeys that lasted several weeks.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until the age of forty that Sanana began painting, discovering his talent as a self-taught artist. His journey into art was inspired by a television program about painting, which led him to visit Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Damgaard’s gallery. This encounter sparked his passion for creating art, and he quickly developed a distinctive style. Sanana\u2019s work is characterized by free, dynamic figures that form a surreal bestiary, drawing heavily on the marine world he knows intimately. His vibrant palette, dominated by blues, yellows, and greens, reflects his deep connection to the sea.<\/p>\n
Despite continuing his career as a fisherman, Sanana has achieved significant recognition in the art world. G\u00e9rard Sendrey, artistic director of the Mus\u00e9e de la Cr\u00e9ation Franche in B\u00e8gles and an expert in outsider art, recognized Sanana\u2019s talent and invited him to exhibit his work in France. Sanana presented around thirty pieces in the museum\u2019s gallery, standing out as the only Moroccan artist among eight participants from various countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
