Visual Arts

Art is above all the generosity and sharing of plastic and artistic experiences. A few fiends, painters and sculptors, have been so nice to produce paintings and sculptures to illustrate the covers books. 
I take this opportunity to thank them for their generous offer by presenting a sheet of their very inspiring creative works.

Imad Mansour Biography

Imad Mansour generously created and offered one sculpture as a cover for the novel “Scratches never heal” and two paintings, one for the novel “Sparkling Ashes over the Rainbow” and one for the novel “Suicide à distance,” respectively.

I am grateful to him for accepting that I share some of his paintings and sculptures on this page of Visual Arts.

Imad is a well-known painter and sculptor. Born in Iraq, he studied visual arts and cinema at the Beaux Arts in Baghdad, Scenography at the Jacques Lecoq International School in Paris. Imbued with Mesopotamian art, Imad Mansour reinvents through painting, sculptures, installations and videos, a language carrying a heritage whose echo vibrates in the present.

Imad Mansour’s work oscillates between an aesthetic from elsewhere and critical engagement with denunciatory overtones. He directs his creations towards the dynamic search for space and rhythm. All his works are in movement, characters or material. Diverse in its form, multiple in its expression, varied in its materiality, his work explores the mechanism of vision and the place of the spectator. It sows confusion regarding the opposition between inside and outside, between reality and reproduction, between communication and silence. His creations shakes up public in their vision of the other, in their vision as spectator.

Imad Mansour’s work is part of the conceptual art movement, his sculpture, installations and videos are cross-views between a past always present in and through matter and timeless future. United in its genesis, plural in its form, the work of Imad Mansour merges in a perpetual movement in search of its origins, those of the world and those of oneself.

Abdelhaq Jniyen

Abdelhaq Jniyen Biography

 

Abdelhaq Jniyen has generously created and offered two covers for the novel ‘’Le chant des cascades’’ and the novel ‘’Les larmes du cactus’’.  

I am grateful to him for accepting that I share some of his paintings on this page of Visual Arts.

 

Who’s Abdelhaq Jniyen? 

Driven by the art and music that he practiced as an autodidact, Abdelhaq Jniyen decided to pursue an academic training to improve his knowledge in the fine arts. He took courses in drawing and painting techniques at the Triveni Institute in New Delhi in 1993-1994. He also taught drawing and painting at the Atelier du Centre Culturel Français in Rabat in the 1980s. He participated in a small collective exhibition in Canada and New Delhi.

Abdelhaq Jniyen is known for offering his works free of charge and forgetting to whom he gave them. That is why it is very difficult to know how much it has produced. A call is made for these people to sign up, because the ambition of this site is to organize a virtual exhibition to enable the public to discover his immense talent.



Qui est Abdelhaq Jniyen ? 

Abdelhaq Jniyen m’a fait l’honneur de réaliser les couvertures de  deux romans  ‘’Le chant des cascades’’ et ‘’Les larmes du cactus’’. Versé dans l’art et la musique qu’il pratique en tant qu’autodidacte, il prend la décision de suivre une formation académique pour améliorer ses connaissances dans les arts plastiques. Il suit des cours de techniques de dessins et de peinture à l’Institut Triveni à New Delhi en 1993-1994 et des cours de dessins et de peinture à l’Atelier du Centre Culturel Français de Rabat dans les années 1980. Il participe à des expositions collectives au Canada et à New Delhi.

Abdelhaq Jniyen est connu pour offrir ses œuvres gratuitement et oubli à qui il les a données. C’est pour cette raison qu’il est très difficile de savoir combien il en a produit. Un appel est lancé pour ces personnes de se signaler, car l’ambition de ce site est de lui organiser une exposition virtuelle pour permettre au public de découvrir son immense talent.
