Karim Meziani

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"
