The plastic artist Malika Ouahman is among the Moroccan plastic artists who have marked their creative presence in the world of plastic surgery in a strong and striking way, due to her self-employment in working on fine works on blank canvases for a long time. Her creative experience is a distinct one that contributes to enriching the Moroccan plastic arts field, which is full of names that have their own mark and significant presence.
Contemplation of life, cultural formation, and continuous research with the brush and colors...all of this made this artist’s creative journey masterfully express a group of international plastic schools, and draw from their roots until she settled on the realistic diagnostic school based on an important theme in the authentic Arab heritage, artistically and symbolically, which is Horses theme.
This last plastic station in her creative path gave her the ability to create artistic beauty, and give it a real meaning, enabling the recipient visually to delve into the depths of the horse’s body with all its minute details, especially since the structure of her visual discourse gives the symbolism of the horse an aesthetic, deliberative meaning that motivates the contemplator to deconstruct the structure of the artistic style and language. The plasticity and musical rhythm of the colors emanating from the movement of the brush.
This artist's works are based on the realism of the horse's body, which she excelled in taming practically in reality, as well as through shaping with the perfect choice of colors and the movement of shadows and dimensions, which blends with her surroundings, and emerges from her creative spirit, which is saturated with the scent and color of the ancestral soil.
As you contemplate her creations in the exhibition halls, you feel that your cognitive powers seek to dismantle all the minute details intertwined in their folds at their multiple intersections. Her work with horses has a strong philosophical dimension in the visual language. It takes its freedom and its aesthetic form as the subject of the desire to free man from the questions of existential restlessness that besiege him throughout history, in addition to the survival complex and the constant struggle it entails over the duality of brokenness and freedom.
In its creativity, it draws from several different sources that create a qualitative distinction with accessories that add a dazzling elegance to the horses’ bodies. These horses in the painting have a speaking language that is in harmony with both their original and nurturing environment.
Even listening to her, you feel that her artistic taste and concept of beauty are strongly present in her relationship with horses, as well as in her daily life. The relationship that you weave with horses, starting from the first thresholds of their visual creation, touches both the feelings and the mind, and generates a creative dialogue between the two parties.
It is an aesthetic language imbued with the spirit of creativity of traditional craftsmen and craftsmen, drawing from the traditions, customs and cultural identity of society, creating a compositional structure of colors and accessories that give the horse and his male or female rider a dynamic scene through which each one of them acquires its aesthetic presence.
The closer you get to the work of the visual artist Malika Wahman on the whiteness of the painting, the more you find yourself in front of an artist who is able to choose the textual material of horses with their different intersections and authentic heritage patterns. Anyone who looks at this artist’s paintings must employ an integrated approach to monitor all the artistic steps during a deep analytical reading of them. As for the actual consistency of the visual image, it is compatible with the intensity of the color gradation, which makes the viewer attracted to paintings that express areas of light, and next to him is the poet Imru’ Al-Qais singing:
Cunning mastermind inevitable future together
Like a boulder of rock brought down by a torrent
