Aly Mazeh is a painter who draws inspiration from the different cultures of his childhood to construct equivocal universes made of patchworks and watered-down colors. Between proportion and disorder, the many symbols projected onto the canvas invite viewers to devise their own interpretations.
The artist pays homage to the dreams, candor and carefree spirit of childhood, a pivotal period for each individual to create an identity in a world oscillating between the imaginary and the real, free from all social injunctions.
The enigmatic paintings of a childhood story
In his work, Aly Mazeh deliberately leaves room for the imagination through these enigmatic visual characters to evoke memories, feelings, telling a singular story to each. His first exhibition “Renaisens” in 2021 decodes the place of the human being in the society.
Aly Mazeh is also the founder of “Yakomin” which offers creative workshops to introduce the art practice to the general public in Africa.
