About this artwork
This work fuses Arabic calligraphy with a contemporary abstract composition. The dense, intertwined letters unfold in the center in a palette of red, white, and black, suggesting inner movement and a stirring memory. They appear to emerge from a ground of warm tones—ochre and gold—evoking a desert landscape or an ancient land.
In contrast, a vast, clear sky dominates the upper part, bringing calm and lightness. A few discreet geometric shapes (square,… diamond) punctuate the space, adding a symbolic dimension to the whole.
Between writing and abstraction, this work traces a poetic territory where language becomes matter and the landscape, a space for meditation.

« 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.
