Sarah ELQA is a self-taught French artist born in1987 in Morocco where she grew up. As a descendant of the Fauvist French painter, Maurice Devlaminck, painting has always been a passion and the best way to express herself. The desire to reveal her emotions on the canvas quickly became obvious. She finds her inspiration from her two cultures and from her different travels and people she meets. In her work, Sarah Elqa likes to think on Humans by creating her atypical characters. A strong emotion emerges from these shapes and faces that leaves no one indifferent. The artist takes a look at the Men and Women of this century who evolve in our contemporary society and invites the viewer to gain height to better contemplate the world around them. This is the idea that emanates from her new collection “Movement” where Sarah Elqa is this time interested in the tumult of big cities, the swarming of the crowds who roam the streets and which we can observe from above. Isn’t this disorderly movement a reflection of our current society ? Taking a step back allows you to better understand each individual and perhaps understand yourself. Sarah Elqa attempts, by creating her works, to construct an enlightened vision and take a critical look at our current society.
