The blonde lady by Saïd Ouarzaz

The blonde lady by Saïd Ouarzaz Acrylic on paper In 1996, Frédéric Damgaard, this great discoverer of Souïris talents, had exposed Saïd Ouarzaz. He spoke of a "dazzling, gestural painting" in "immediacy". Today, we find this original strength. This self-taught painter has created, from ancestral, almost animist representations, a unique universe. Ouarzaz is not in the thread of history, he is below or beyond history, just like his peers Tabal, Baki, Maimoun or Ben Ali, but with something good of his own. It is not possible to speak of art brut or naïve.
