Maya-Inès Touam
Maya-Ines Touam – L’Equilibre, 2021

132 x 67 cm

Photography on Hahnemuhle Photo Pearl in natural walnut floater frame

Drawing her inspiration from the Flemish aesthetics of the 17th century, the artist creates contemporary compositions, accumulating disparate artifacts gleaned in Morocco: everyday, traditional, ordinary or precious objects. By reinterpreting the genre of still life, the artist thus plays with generational codes in order to experiment plastically with the semantics of a pan-African heritage, far from postcolonial considerations. As masters of the memory of an era, these contemporary vanities act as committed figures of a plural society at the crossroads of civilizations. Like dreamlike allegories, Maya-Inès Touam's surrealist still lifes bear witness to a certain poetry of everyday life and contribute to the construction of a new feminine mythology, far from the divisions.
