Lives in Amsterdam (Netherlands), born in Larache (Morocco).

The Moroccan artist Hamid El Kanbouhi (b. 1976) makes art as a salutary agent for people and for society as a whole. He illustrates this utopian and modernist conception of art through drawings, paintings and performances. El Kanbouhi reworks and shifts matters from daily life into a new context like canvas or the museum, in a way that makes viewers rethink their relationship vis-à-vis an apparently familiar subject.
