The two visual artists have in common this quest for the sublime and refinement. They also have this capacity to reinvent a figurative style that leaves a large part to their imagination. Mounia Idrissi likes to describe her work as semi-abstract. Her works are the fruit of her abundant imagination. Her inspiration is enriched by this love she has for science (theory of evolution) and different popular cultures. As an indication, "The Spiral of Life" represents the earth and the sea. This painting abounds with symbols of science and ancient mythologies, such as the owl. This animal is recognised in ancient Greece for its great wisdom and vigilance. At nightfall, its flight foretold happy news to the Greeks. Its silence made it a good omen; its appearance was only ominous when it sang. However, Minerva took this bird under her protection because it warned her at night of everything that was happening.

Mounia's second work is based on a mixed technique of collage on canvas and oil painting. In this painting, there is a peacock woman. The artist points out, in this regard, that she feels attracted to this technique of relief and suggestibility. According to her, the technique is dependent on the proposed theme. In other words, an artist is not obliged to be a prisoner of a single technique or a single movement. She also devotes a large part of her work to Moroccan customs and national traditional architecture. It should be noted that she exhibited her works on 21 May 2014 at the Nadira gallery in Rabat. She also organised another exhibition on 20 September at the exhibition hall of the Hotel Tour Hassan in the capital, as part of a congress of the Rabat Dermatologists' Association.

Still life and ballet are the two main themes of Hanane El Kebir. One notices in her work this concern for detail and perfection. Her paintings devoted to ballerinas are a hymn to grace and elegance. Her oil painting technique with a palette knife makes her work more attractive and vibrant. Since she was very young, Hanane was fascinated by drawing, but her arrival on the public artistic scene dates back only three years. The trigger for painting occurred following the death of her father. This painful event released this great creative energy in her. She considers visual arts as therapy. "Painting is a source of soothing and inner tranquillity," she essentially highlights.

Her relatively late arrival to the world of pictorial expression did not prevent her from evolving and inscribing her name on the national artistic scene. In this regard, she pays a great tribute to the painter Abdelhak Arzima who mentored her at her beginnings.

Let us recall that Kenitra is one of the most fertile Moroccan cities in the field of artistic creation, particularly in the visual arts. We cite for this purpose painters such as Nouredine Fidali, Moa Bennani, and Mustapha Naffi.

Fostering convergence between artists

The Ministry of Culture organises the "Night of Galleries" every year. This national artistic event aims to facilitate communication and convergence between artists of different generations and to celebrate visual creativity in its various expressions. It also allows for the dissemination of artistic culture to the general Moroccan public. The "Night of Galleries" also offers an opportunity for art spaces to make known the artistic creations of pioneers of art and young Moroccan talents.
