Moroccan Artists.

Many visitors to Morocco get swept away by the history,and landscape - which is understandable - but they are missing out if they don't take time to check out Moroccan fine art.

From time to time we will post an example, just to give you a taste.

The work of Mohamed Cherkaoui (below) features his liking of the hot colours and is able to surprise his public as he moves from figurative to the abstract.

Brahim Bouhamadi is a seriously talented artist and possibly the most prolific painter in watercolours in Morocco. He has a great eye for detail and can reproduce what he sees with a rare paintily touch.
