Majda Elbayad

As a contemporary artist, I root my practice in a research where spirituality is revealed through matter. Positioned between the rigor of the professional world and the freedom of artistic gesture, my works open a space for contemplation, where spirituality is expressed through contemporary forms and materials.

Inspired by the Divine Names, adhkār (devotional invocations), and verses from the Qur'an, I create works using acrylic paint, gesso, and resin, incorporating wood and brass as structural elements. The contrast between textured reliefs and smooth surfaces, combined with a precise and controlled gesture, gives each piece a presence that is both restrained and profound, inviting an inner and silent reading.
