Mostafa Maftah – The Blue Eye, 2018

Mostafa Maftah, born in 1957, is a contemporary artist whose work transcends the conventional boundaries of art. Originally from Morocco, he draws his inspiration from the richness of his cultural heritage as well as from his personal experiences and travels around the world. Guided by a relentless quest for meaning and beauty, Maftah uses art as a means of exploring the mysteries of human existence and celebrating the diversity of the world around us.
His artistic work is characterised by a bold exploration of techniques, ranging from painting and sculpture to tapestry and urban art. Through his creations, Mostafa seeks to capture the very essence of life, expressing the duality of human emotions and revealing the beauty hidden in the simplest moments.
His artistic philosophy is based on the idea that Art has the power to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, to connect us to each other and to remind us of our common humanity. For him, each work is an invitation to contemplation, a meditation on the ephemeral nature of existence and the mysteries of the universe.
Through his art, Maftah aspires to inspire, uplift and awaken consciousness. Whether through his vibrant paintings, evocative sculptures or tapestries, he seeks to create experiences that touch the heart and soul, inviting viewers on an introspective and transcendent journey.
