Isma

Isma is a multidisciplinary artist whose evocative work explores the intersections of memory, heritage, and urban existence. Originally from Casablanca, Isma developed an early fascination with merging the tactile textures of street life with introspective, dreamlike imagery. Their practice spans painting, collage, and installation, weaving together fragments of language, archival materials, and vibrant color palettes to create poetic reflections on identity and displacement.

Deeply influenced by diasporic narratives and the rhythms of cityscapes, Isma’s pieces invite viewers to reconsider the ways in which culture and environment shape personal and collective stories. Their art has been exhibited in galleries across North Africa and Europe, and they have participated in multiple international residencies. With each new project, Isma continues to blur boundaries—between past and present, tradition and innovation—building visual experiences that resonate long after the first encounter.
