Malek Salah cannot separate his meditation practice from his creative works, as the two are inextricably linked. The Algerian multi-disciplinary artist discovered transcendental meditation in the 1970s. For him it is a means of discovering the mysteries of creation, as well as a ‘way of being in creation’. Salah’s artistic language is conveyed through gestural narrative painting. He employs acrylics and gesso for painting and uses mixed technique lacquer, graphite drawing, and dry pastels.
