About this artwork
I layer materials and colors like one accumulates strata of memory. In this shifting surface, I allow fragments of letters to emerge, partially buried, sometimes almost erased, as if the sign were seeking its own breath.
I work with contrasts between shadow and light, between dense areas and transparencies, to create an unstable interior space. Touches of yellow, green, and earth interact with furtive lines, red or green, traces of a passage, a… gesture, a tension.
I am not seeking the legibility of the text, but its presence. The letter becomes matter, rhythm, memory. Through this composition, I explore a fragile balance between appearance and disappearance, between heritage and freedom, leaving it to the viewer to reconstruct their own path.

« We must do what we like so that others like what we do. »
Abdelkader Kamal is a Moroccan visual artist, born in 1970 in El Jadida, where he lives and works. Winner of the Mohammed VI Grand Prize for Excellence in Calligraphic Painting in 2019, he is recognized for his unique approach, which fuses Arabic calligraphy and contemporary abstraction in a language he calls CALLIABSTRACTION.
His work explores the letter as a plastic material and symbol of memory, confronting it with the textures, transparencies, and gestural dynamics of abstraction. Nourished by his attachment to the coastal environment of El Jadida, Abdelkader Kamal constructs interior landscapes where the calligraphic sign becomes a trace, a wave, a breath.
He has participated in numerous individual and group exhibitions in Morocco and internationally, notably at the French Institute of El Jadida, the National Salon of Contemporary Art (Marrakech, Casablanca), the OCP cultural complex, as well as in Dubai and Rabat.
