Mohamed Tahdaini's ideas are well reflected by creating a union between geometrics, movement and color in his abstract art.

Born in 1965 in Agadir, Morocco, Mohamed Tahdaini has always had a love of music and art. His father, who was in the building trade, was a major influence with knowledge of design and decoration. Although he followed the wishes of his father to study at the Ibnou Zouher University in AGADIR, music, poetry and painting were his true loves. With the encouragement of his teachers and family the classrooms were always decorated by his works. Mohamed frequently played his banjo for school festivities and parties for friends. When asked about his work: "I do not paint whenever I want, but when I feel the need. It's a matter of feelings. Sometimes I wake at night and start to paint. It's not a question of time. It has to do with something inside of me, emotions, personality, temperament and feelings. Life as a whole is my origin and the beauty inside is my creative inspiration. Most of the time, I use oil paint, from time to time I use a mixture of acrylic with oil but do not have a tendency to use watercolor. Any interesting matter can be the subject of my artwork. My paintings treat different topics related to one's life. I think that art can deal with any subject if the artist is ready. When I start to paint by submitting to my feelings it's my imagination which takes the leadership. I never have a certain framework before painting. What is important for me is the desire to paint a piece of artwork. I do not intend to paint one or two pieces; it's up to my imagination and to the ability of my sincere feelings. I can paint three pieces in one day; and sometimes, I can not paint one during a month. So, the act of painting does not depend on me it is due to its own will. In other ways it's the creativity which imposes its rules, even the colors impose themselves upon me, and I do not have the freedom to choose them. It's a sense of creativity. I think that if I choose colors and prepare the framework it will not be art but architecture. I let myself go to the field of art when I have time, and when it is a right time which is confirmed by the feelings and the eager of imagination. My goal as an artist is to create a new style, a new school in the domain of paintings and to be recognized world wide. I hope to see my paintings known by everyone who is interested in art and to be recognized relying only on its own style not by my signature. " Mohamed Tahdaini's wide range of imagination is expressed in his abstract approach to painting. His creativity has no limits while expressing his feelings with bright colours and unusual shapes. After graduation, he works in Quarzazate, South of Morocco. In 2002 he married and now has two sons.
