Djabril Boukhenaïssi : between light and darkness
"Djabril Boukhenaïssi's compositions have the color of memories. The blank canvas spaces, between purples, browns and blues, are like traces of oblivion or distant reminiscences. At the age of 14, Djabril Boukhenaïssi was already dreaming of attending the École des Beaux-Arts, which he visited with his family when they were in Paris. He graduated six years ago, after studying with Djamel Tatah, whose images of solitude have probably left their mark on the atmosphere of his works. In those years, he also studied at the Musée du Louvre, copying the masters. Today, he paints while integrating engraving with his painting research. "
