Self-taught painter born 1964 in Oran, Algeria, Faiza Maghni lives and works in Paris. The painting has long been a desire more or less unconscious and totally obscured that has become natural in the future. Fascinated by Persian miniatures, Arabic calligraphy, but also by tribal art and contemporary painting, she is inspired in his work and creates his own universe. Faiza Maghni attempts to translate through his portraits the beauty and complexity of women in his paintings symbolized the richness of costume and expression enigmatic look. His approach in the abstract expression joins the world of his portraits.

“Costume is the ornament. In my paintings, the ornament expresses attitudes sometimes severe, sometimes austere, other times carefree, and with still others there is a certain majesty. Often I create an exaggeration to express my own intensity. Sometimes costume can be an impressive armor and other times a kind of light and screen that hides or reveals.”

“In my work I seek to convey a certain kind of romanticism inspired by Arabic and Persian poetry, taking my inspiration from the costumes and hairstyles of the miniatures of the past which I find full of subtlety and restraint.”

“I’m also drawn to the symbolic meanings found in tribal jewelry and have reinvented this style in my paintings, such as the giraffe-collared women in Burma and Africa that are simultaneously a symbol of beauty and a forced cruelty.”
