So far away (2013) Painting by El-Zoufri

El-Zoufri, the contemporary French painter, is a self-taught artist whose creative journey has been marked by a passion for artistic expression. While dabbling in drawing during school, it was only in later years, around the age of 30, that El-Zoufri committed to honing his skills and elevating artistry to the level of true paintings. In recent times, El-Zoufri embarked on a fascinating storytelling endeavor, crafting narratives around a beloved character—a humble sailor. This character serves as a conduit for conveying his unique perspective on life and the world around.

Expanding his creative horizons, El-Zoufri delved into the realm of video software and animations. This venture not only breathed life into his imaginative universe but also allowed for the creation of short films, inspired by a deep-seated love for cinema. These cinematic creations, while perhaps eccentric, exemplify the artist's dedication to pushing the boundaries of his creativity.

El-Zoufri's artistic journey is characterized by a diverse and multifaceted approach. His explorations span abstract art, drawings, paintings, digital works, written texts, as well as films and animations. This wide array of mediums and forms of expression converges to give birth to a fantastical universe, one that oscillates between vivid brightness and enigmatic darkness.
