My first encounter with Hind el Amaoui was in China in December 2007 at the Guangzhou Art Fair, the first Moroccan woman to exhibit in China,

Au premier coup d'œil j'ai ressenti de l'âme dans son travail.

Tout le monde parle d'elle comme du « Picasso Oriental »…

Moi je dis qu'elle est elle- même avant tout !

Sure, she uses the language of cubism, but she has her own real artistic sensibility,

Her delicate feminine perception... Oriental.

Sa peinture est toute en couleur, en parfums d'Orient, elle peint comme elle respire,

All the life of Morocco is in her canvases.

Her painting is at once sensual, mystical, poetic, tender and warm;

Her cubism is close to zelliges and Islamic geometry, and her work is directly linked to tradition, yet original and creative.

(Picasso pour les formes déstructurées et Delacroix pour la couleur Orientale …)

Ses couleurs sont celles d'un peuple joyeux, généreux !

Through her paintings, she celebrates Moroccan women in their everyday lives, generously and accurately asserting their unrivalled place in society.

She gives thanks...

The Moroccan Woman, who contributes so much to the Peace and Beauty of this marvelous country of a thousand perfumes, a thousand flavors...

What more can I say? Hind El Amaoui's paintings magnetize you and go straight to your heart...
