Hakim Ghazali
Born in Casablanca, Hakim Ghazali’s artistic journey began in Quranic school, where he cultivated an early appreciation for line, form, and color. Further training in graphic design and printing in Amiens and Paris deepened his fascination with the morphology of letters—their form, structure, and visual design. This exploration of text and typography informs his work, which often delves into themes of cultural identity, spirituality, and the balance between tradition and modernity.
