The first time I saw
a painting of Kamal, I was very impressed by the colours in his
paintings.
It was only after some time
that I started to realize that his way of painting could not to be
identified with any other painter ever before. Even how much I tried
to find for a similar way of painting somewhere before, I could not
believe until recently that I was on a mission impossible.
Now I can believe it’s truth but understanding it
still remains difficult….One might think that a life full of
living colours …would bring this inspiration…to the artist….
Being born in the colourful Melilla, a Spanish enclave in Morocco…..
Having spend many years abroad in Mauritania, Morocco, Italy,
France, Belgium and since recently the Netherlands…..
His study at the Art Academy can maybe explain a technique that is
being used by the painter but still you will not get to the heart of
his work…It is when a thing is so familiar that it is
strange…that is the way the energy of his colours originates
in his paintings for me…
Whether you look at his ethnics work or surrealistic work or his
portraits…you can only come to the same conclusion over and over
again: there is a deep consciousness in his paintings as in every
moment he tries to capture a glance of the moment he is in. It is
therefore that I can only witness: this is a unique style of a
unique painter,
