Samir Salmi: Artist of the Sea
Painter, Sculptor, Designer, Writer Research Fellow in poetry and modern painting Several exhibitions nationally and internationally.
More Info: Samir Salmi has two passions: art and the sea, inspired messenger of ecological emergency, it brings together in a daring work where are intimately mixed with paintings and sculptures marine waste, the wide scents and echoes of the deep.
Paintings, sculptures, installations, performances. The creative palette Samir Salmi is vast, beautiful and intriguing to the image of his election theme, the sea. In fact, all it leaves on the shores is the first material gleaner this artist: shells, fish bones and skeletons, sand, salt.
A material redial and staged on wooden racks, metal or plastic for the scale sculptures. Or it transforms into marine texture to form the background of his paintings.
Samir, in fact, nothing is lost, everything evolves into an art object or show. Thus, the "marine environment" exposed to the Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat in 2001, where over 400 m2, the public was invited to immerse themselves in a fantasy marine world, through sounds, lights and marine scents.
Each exposure which earned him the prize Hassan II for the environment, welcome reward for this artist engaged in the ecological cause and each creation reminds us how the sea is vital and must be preserved.
Samir also got the price of modern composition "eco-system" of art and 2006 Osaka Environment Symposium in Japan.
