Karim Meziani est né en Algérie. Le marabout (mot
berbère qui signifie " saint " mais aussi le
lieu du saint) est l'élément architectural du
tableau. Tout d'abord central, il se déplace, se multiplie
sur des fonds ou le bleu, l'or, le rose dominent.
" Contrairement à ces artistes de la mouvance
actuelle, enfantés par l'histoire de l'art mais orphelins
de toute souche originelle, la peinture de Meziani est le fruit
d'un rencontre entre archétypes immémoriaux, spiritualité
naturelle et histoire de l'art occidental. "

Karim Meziani was born in Algeria. The marabout (a Berber
word meaning "holy" but which is also the place
of the saint), is the architectural element of his painting.
Central to the image, his work uses a multiple background
of color dominated by blue, pink and gold.
"Contrary
to those artists of contemporary art, working with and appropriating
elements from the history of the art, but without a genuine
connection their roots, Meziani's painting is the fruit of
a meeting between immemorial prototypes, natural spirituality
and a history of Western art"
