BIOGRAPHY
Salaheddine Bouanani (S. Din Art Studio), self-taught artist
Born in 1972, Salaheddine Bouanani, AKA S. Din Art Studio,is a multi-talented artist. Pharmacist
by training, he has turned his pharmacy shop into a workshop to seamlessly move between
these two worlds. His art expresses his deeply rooted attachment to his culture and his
environment, to nature and to the landscapes that nurture his daily life. Armed with a solid
understanding of the history of art and various media and tools, S. Dinis an eclectic artist who
navigates his own emotional turmoil to create complex works that suggest great expressionism.
His artworksrevealthe human condition, its constraints,and contradictions, through faces that
he has uniquely painted, combining humor and a keen sociological sensibility. Some canbe
viewed as self-portraits where heshares his own story through his creations, with lightness and
sensibility. Some others areametaphor for the human spirit, from the state of the ghost or the
ethereal body,that suggest a battle with internal spirits, but also reflecta generous amount of
tenderness, poetry, and humanity.
Salaheddine Bouanani has exhibited in many art galleries in the US, Spain, and Morocco. He
lives and works in Asilah, Morocco.
