Ahlam, Seeking light hopefully

Ahlam Lemseffer's artistic work skillfully brings together painting, sculpture, and installation. Her iconography gives abstract forms the value of representations referencing architecture, the environment, and human society.

For several years, Ahlam has explored the territories of abstract painting through a continual questioning of the pictorial process: composition, surface, color, light, and perspective. This exploration has led her to an avant-garde dynamism rooted in powerful emotional currents, and to an increasingly fluid and refined abstraction.

Today, the pictorial construction of her paintings leads her to examine the complex process linking juxtaposition, transparency, and visual layering. Through a unique and unprecedented technique, she analyzes the fragility of the environment, the wear of matter, and the fading of color.

Ahlam Lemseffer is not a painter in the traditional sense of the term. She embraces a transversal status that allows her to anchor her sculptures and installations within fundamental pictorial subjects. The artist works with contradictions of matter and form in order to unite them with the possibility of new dimensions.
