Algeria
Mohamed Chafa Ouzzani, an Algerian architect and painter, works primarily with acrylics, oils, and inks on canvas or canvas board. He constructs his canvases like buildings, employing effects of transparency, relief, and powerful symbols (moon, khamsa, fish, house, etc.) in a contemporary style where composition is paramount. His works, vibrant with light, explore memory, identity, and spirituality, inviting the viewer to experience a poignant blend of beauty, nostalgia, and a yearning for transcendence.
