Remember Maracech - acrylic on paper 50 x 50 cm

Self-taught painter, I am a French artist from Bretagne established in the region of Perpignan in the south of France.
After a varied and colorful Singular Art period, since the beginning of 2012, I propose black and white artworks which mark a turning point in my artistic journey.
Indeed, I decided to bring some maturity in my artwork in order to highlight my artistic influence* and my interest in Raw Art, Outsider Art, Free Figuration and Tribal Art.
I take a great pleasure to create my new art and I’ll use, in the future, various technics and collage because doing the same things bores me. So my artistic future will reserve you a few surprises...

* Jaber, Chaibia, Picasso, Dubuffet, Basquiat, Combas, Keith Haring

DJIHEM

DJIHEM, a self-made painter, is gathering his inspiration from his French region of origin: Brittany. The warm colors DJIHEM is using to light up his paintings are coming from the numerous trips the artist made in North (Maghreb) and East of Africa also called "Horn of Africa". DJIHEM is constantly looking for new technical creations and ideas which are explaining the paintings diversity. Because the artist paints daily scenes with humor and simplicity, everybody can easily recognize itself. In this paint story built around derision and wonder, DJIHEM offers our staggered eyes the secrets of our lives. Thus the artist is blooming in a plurial universe of a very weird art with an immature look sometimes coming from childhood.
