With each artwork, Oussamah invites the audience to embark on a journey that begins with bold shapes, strokes, fine lines and splatter. It starts to take form into a universe of oxymorons, metaphors and onomatopoeia.
Gentle yet controversial messages and images of fantastic confessions; that in the world we live in, our most insane delusions, fantasies and reality, in their detail are all intertwined.
Not only attributing emotions and reactions throughout every stroke of brush, and using it as a device for personifying the rawest of inanimate objects and natural phenomena, therefore allocating the rawest human characteristics to other living creatures, organisms, matter and energy from the whole Universe. Captivating the cosmos in its sweetness and bitterness.
Showcasing how an emotion is brought into being.

Each and everyone of his paintings could be interpreted differently, giving birth to hidden characters, uncovering new perspectives, every time. What you see is who you are that day, or-what you learnt yesterday. What you see isn’t what you’re getting but in fact, it’s exactly what you’re getting.
Oussamah makes sure that every painting alone Emanates a deafening silence, When his work is placed together, each collection tells a rich story that mirrors a universal human truth, while deconstructing self and reconstructing freedom, allowing him to move on to another chapter of the never ending tale of us.
a touch of street, a bit bourgeois... much like the artist himself.
