Introduction
Because of my Belgo-Algerian roots, ever since my childhood I have been attracted to a nomadic lifestyle. As a student and long after my graduation as a master in African languages and history, I have been travelling around the Black continent. I badly got bitten by the travel bug and have been to all other continents since.
My talent for mosaic work got a boost and became more finetuned and influenced by different cultures. The last 13 years I have been able to combine my love for travelling with freelance mosaic work, working with different materials and sizes.

I'm currently conducting a huge mosaic project (total surface = 179m2) in a park in a multi-cultural area of Ghent, Belgium. It is a socio-artistic integration project that started the first week of May 2010. Together with everybody who feels to contribute to this project, we cover paths and benches with colorful mosaics. I was asked to bring a Mediterranean atmosphere through my design. I chose for organic elements, such as flowing lines from where the protecting eye of Fatima arises, dynamic waves and sand dunes with a sky full of stars. 2 years later we covered approximately 66% of the total surface...Next spring, May 2012 we continue to mosaic the paths and benches. Hopefully we finish it within the next summer.
