Fadila Morsly
An Algerian Artist
Fadila Morsly was born in Annaba, Algeria. She did not start very early in the artistic career. After university studies, she began a career in the maritime sector, became a lawyer, and then follows her husband to Guinea.
When she returned to France in 1992, she began painting in her studio in Aix-en-Provence. Her works are in the image of her inspiration: structured, colored and refined.
From Geneva to Paris, from Algiers to Monaco, the artist has participated in numerous international exhibitions.
What must be remembered from the generous work of Fadila Morsly is that reflection ripens at the same time as her art.
Nothing that touches Human can leave her indifferent, so that at random exhibitions organized here and there, men and women end up hearing the voice of the one who seeks a new way in the logic and the coherence of the contemporary world.
"The signs are a way to better understand how a society, a culture works, they are a tool of reflection on the positioning of the Muslim culture but also of its trajectory." The signs transcend the civilizations in the sense that they are not affirmation, nor negation, but the circulation of differences between human communities.
"The "making" has always fascinated me, the use of the hand, the world of things keep me a note of freedom and play ..."
The artist is therefore defined according to everyday life, because it is the reality that concerns her in the first place. Reality is also part of architecture and especially in the architectural constructions of Islamic art where man creates an "idea" of nature whose only criterion of judgment is the beauty it exhales, the joy and the the serenity it gives to those who contemplate it.
All the work of Fadila Morsly is based on this "idea", and as Voltaire said: "by educating you as a philosopher about the globe, you will first take your view of the Orient , cradle of all the arts, and who gave everything to the west " (Essay on the Mores).
