Finding Inspiration from Street Art and Humour

“We need to live with things that make us smile every day. Both Rita and I are very positive people and there is not a day that goes by when we don’t have a good laugh. Life is short and for living. Work to live not live to work. Positive artwork helps our journey and enriches our lives.”

Leeuwin: Breaking the Symmetry

"It’s really not thinking about the work and then displaying it somewhere, but really studying the place itself and developing a work for it. That’s a direction I want to expand more and it was great to be able to start doing that with Leeuwin."

Embracing the Process and Connecting Frontiers

"When I immigrated to Canada in 2005, I was drawn to the nature, places, and their relation with sense of identity. I was interested in learning and painting these relational ties between identity and place, and how we developed certain instincts, feelings, or love for new places that were chosen for us to call home. Perhaps it was a way for me to express my diaspora experiences living in foreign lands and taking a romantic approach to relate to their histories, cultures, and natures. It was somehow a space for healing and tranquility for me during the process of making Canada my second home."

NFT Expert and founder of The Guestwork Agency

"Each time an NFT is created (minted) and sold, it is registered on a public, decentralised blockchain. That registration - which is immutable - records when the transaction took place, what digital wallets were used in the transaction, and the cryptocurrency value of the transaction. This is a game-changer for the mainstream art world, where the prices and dates of sale of artworks are closely guarded secrets held by the artist’s gallery."

Image, Self-definition and Art-making

"It comes down to a borrowed language. When I think about characters and think about paintings that I'm drawn to, it's because I resonate with them in a moment in time, or I feel some way about the story, there's something that just catches my imagination."

A Conversation of Dance, Protest and Fire

"I am tempted to think that artists, just like people in general, should take part in activist movements as their duty to participatory democracy as well as to their own sense of responsibility towards accomplishing justice, equality and environmental sustainability in society. However I also think the artwork should preserve a certain sense of autonomy and freedom in finding form to ideas in its own way. In a nutshell, artists should be activists and art should be autonomous."

Travelling through the Clouds

"Do you remember the first time you were taking off with an airplane? This magic moment happens when you break through a cloud and it dissolves into millions of water droplets. Once you are in a cloud you have lost sight of it."

Building a Radically Sustainable Seaweed Future

"Below the water, there is a plethora of other sources of nutrition. However, many of these sources face similar issues to the bees with threats due to warming, acidifying oceans, proliferation of other species of ocean flora, pollution and some human fishing practices. So, my interest in seaweed grew from the similarities and links between the threats that many species of plants and animals face now, as well as the opportunities for change."

"I like to create a journey with individuals. I never journey alone. I truly believe that you cannot build a relevant and ambitious collection alone - you need the support of people."

Founder of the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL) in Marrakech

In 2016, Marrakech was already an international hub in contemporary arts and culturally, but also a tourist hub. I like to think we've opened the doors of our home. We have a saying in French, where we say, "tell me where you live and I'll tell you who you are." We are the reflection of our architecture.
