Malika Agueznay

Under the direction of artists Farid Belkahia, Mohammed Melehi and Mohamed Chabâa, the new orientation of this art school had favoured experimental and modernist approaches, teaching abstract art characterized by modernist forms, lines, geometric patterns and primary colours.

While influenced by her teachers such as Melehi and fellow artists, she explored an "abstraction that evoked femininity and her own female perspective".

[2] Over time, Agueznay has incorporated the seaweed form in different ways, in effect, pulling it in different directions: as pure abstraction, as the foundation for calligraphic text, as part of a distinct plant formation, or as a specific evocation of the female body.

[5] In 1981, Agueznay participated in a public art project the psychiatric hospital of Berrechid, where she painted a ten-meter-long mural.

The same exhibition, including works by Agueznay and other members of the Casablanca Art School, was presented by the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, Germany, between July and October 2024.
