Ilias Elhaddaoui
Born in 1992 in Meknes.
Lives and works in Tetouan.
Graduate of the Institut National des Beaux Arts of Tétouan in 2016, Ilias continued his studies in building design and topography. Through his various research projects, he experiments with different media such as sculpture, painting and video. His interest in the issue of man and nature has led him to work deeply influenced by humanism through the prism of ethology, questioning the specifically human, studying the scientific and the philosophical, comparing living beings and man and animal, multiplying points of view, creating a dense plastic discourse. His research is a visual demonstration of the anti-speciesist philosophy, defending itself against arbitrary discrimination according to species, inviting us to reflect on our place in the world as living beings, asking us about animal ethics far removed from egoism and individualistic self-centredness.
