Marrakech – Artist Zineb Mezzour will be part of In Between Blues, a powerful exhibition bringing together an exceptional group of renowned artists to explore the symbolic, material, and emotional depth of the colour blue. 

A Swiss-Moroccan visual artist and data scientist based in Marseille, Zineb Mezzour develops a practice at the intersection of mathematics and sensibility. 

At the core of her work are fractals, self-repeating geometric forms theorised by mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot and present throughout nature, from corals and mosses to tree roots and cosmic formations. 

These structures become both subject and method in her artistic research, allowing her to question how order emerges from complexity and how the infinite can be contained within finite forms.

Working across paper, textile, ceramic, and photography, Mezzour translates fractal logic into tactile and visual compositions that oscillate between precision and intuition. 

Her works invite the viewer to move between scales, from the microscopic to the cosmic, revealing hidden continuities between matter, time, and space. 

In doing so, she highlights the profound interconnectedness of living systems and proposes art as a tool for perception, one capable of shifting the gaze and altering our relationship to the world.

This exploration is not only formal but also spiritual. Attentive to the slow transformations of matter and to long temporalities, Mezzour’s practice unfolds as a contemplative process, where repetition, rhythm, and structure echo natural cycles. 

Her engagement with the colour blue resonates with these concerns, evoking depth, vibration, and immateriality, while acting as a threshold between the visible and the invisible.

Represented by Myriem Himmich Gallery for over four years, Zineb Mezzour has exhibited at 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in Marrakech and London, as well as at AKAA and MENART in Paris. 

Her works are part of the permanent collection of MACAAL in Marrakech and have been featured in international publications including Vogue France, AD Middle East, Harper’s Bazaar France, and Matqaf. She has also been a member of the Cercle de l’Art network since 2023.
