Oussama's Story
The fine line between architecture and art
For Oussama Ouardassi, art and architecture are inseparable realms of expression. Born in Rabat, Morocco, and a graduate of the National School of Architecture (ENA) in Rabat, Oussama’s work embodies the profound interplay between these disciplines. His exclusive series of artworks pays homage to the raw, geometric beauty of Moroccan Brutalist buildings, particularly those in his hometown. With meticulous attention to texture and form, he captures the monumental essence of these structures, transforming their stoic presence into vibrant visual narratives.
Oussama views Moroccan Brutalism as a cultural artifact, a distinct reflection of its era. While he believes in drawing inspiration from its principles, he advocates preserving the spirit of these architectural masterpieces as standalone works of art. His perspective encourages us to celebrate the timeless relationship between space, structure, and human experience, rather than attempting to replicate the past.
Through his art, Oussama invites audiences to reflect on the emotional resonance of architecture, bridging the tangible and the abstract, and ultimately celebrating the enduring dialogue between cultural heritage and modern creativity.
