The Fundación Tres Culturas, through the European project CARPET, welcomes the visual artist of Moroccan origin Ahlam Lemseffer, one of the most influential visual artists of her generation, to Seville.
Ahlam Lemseffer lives and works between Casablanca, Azemmour and Briech beach in Asilah, Morocco. Trained in Paris, her work began to gain visibility and recognition in the 1980s, when she began to participate in contemporary art events around the world. Throughout her career she has received numerous awards such as the decoration of the French Academy of Sciences and Letters.
His work finds means of expression in painting, sculpture and installations with which he develops an iconography that gives value to forms that evoke architecture, the environment and the human being.
In 2012 he founded the Maison de l'Art Contemporaine Asilah, MAC-A in Asilah, Morocco. A non-profit foundation that holds international artists' meetings, residencies, exhibitions, conferences, concerts and other events of an educational and social nature.
The CARPET project is coordinated by the Three Cultures Foundation together with partners Creative Kernow in England, CEARTE in Portugal and APDN in Morocco. This project is financially supported by the European Creative Europe programme.
