Chaimaa Mellouki Contemporary Artist Founder of Moroccan Cubism

Chaimaa Mellouki is a contemporary artist whose work stands at the intersection of cubist language, Moroccan cultural memory, and contemporary visual structures.

Through Moroccan Cubism, she establishes the foundations of an artistic movement rooted in Amazigh heritage, African rhythms, and symbolic forms reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

Her practice operates at the crossroads of aesthetics, culture, and conceptual research, where each artwork becomes a living archive of identity and transformation.

Moroccan Cubism

Born from a dialogue between ancestral traditions and contemporary forms, Moroccan Cubism emancipates itself from Western-centric perspectives to propose an endogenous reading of fragmentation, rhythm, and memory.

It does not deconstruct reality ,it recomposes it through cultural, spiritual, and territorial roots.

This movement affirms an autonomous African modernity, conscious of its heritage and oriented toward the future

I’m pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition Traces sur Rivages, taking place from March 26 to April 25, 2026.Presented at Espace Rivages in Rabat on the occasion of its 10th anniversary, Traces sur Rivages brings together a selection of Moroccan artists living abroad, exploring the connections between memory, territory, and contemporary creation.

Through my work, I develop a distinctive visual language inspired by Moroccan Cubism, where forms fragment in order to recompose a plural identity. Between heritage and projection, my works explore movement, transformation, and the traces left by the diasporic experience.
