Kunst communiceert

Salman Ezzammoury, Nederlandse beeldend kunstenaar geboren in 1959 in het Noord Marokkaanse Tetouan, verhuisde al op jonge leeftijd naar Nederland. Zijn opleidingen fotografie aan de Fotovakschool in Apeldoorn en grafische technieken aan Sivako in Utrecht, boden een solide technische basis voor zijn huidige werk. Hij combineert schilderen en fotografie.Hij werd al spoedig een succesvol kunstenaar, meer nog dan fotograaf, dat wil zeggen dat hij niet probeert de wereld zo realistisch mogelijk weer te geven, maar dat hij door het toepassen van diverse technieken, een extra dimensie aan zijn werk weet toe te voegen. Hij wil zijn onderwerp zo dicht mogelijk benaderen, hij wil er bijna in kruipen om zo de kern bloot te leggen.Daarnaast houdt hij van mensen: hij is oprecht geïnteresseerd in zijn medemens en weet deze op een liefdevolle manier te portretteren. Moeiteloos heeft hij de overgang van het analoge naar het digitale tijdperk meegemaakt. Waar hij in het verleden zijn negatieven op verschillende manieren fysiek wist te bewerken, gebruikt hij tegenwoordig allerlei technieken ontleend aan de beeldende kunst, om zijn foto’s tot unieke kunstwerken te transformeren.Via zijn afbeeldingen probeert hij zijn gevoelbeleving tot uitdrukking te brengen. Het gaat vooral om duidelijk te maken wat hij voelt bij zijn ervaring van een moment, van een situatie of van een plek. Het is daarom niet verwonderlijk dat zijn werk een zeer poëtisch karakter dragen en ruimte laat voor de eigen associaties van de kijker Salman houdt er van om te reizen en zo de wereld verder te verkennen. De afgelopen jaren ondernam hij reizen naar onder andere Hong Kong, Japan en IJsland. Ook die reizen resulteerden weer in veel nieuw werk dat op verscheidene exposities in binnen- en buitenland te zien was.

Inmiddels heeft hij sinds 1987 al meer dan 400 exposities in binnen- en buitenland op zijn naam staan. En Salman legt ook een boodschap in zijn werk. Hij is van mening dat kunst niet alleen de samenleving verrijkt, maar hij vindt vooral dat kunst mensen bij elkaar brengt. Kunst als wapen voor een betere wereld.

Art communicates

Salman Ezzammoury, is a Dutch visual artist born in Tetouan, North Morocco, 1959, moved to the Netherlands at a young age. His studies of Photography at the University of Applied Photography in Apeldoorn and Graphic Techniques at Sivako in Utrecht provided a solid technical basis for his current work. He combines painting and photography.

Soon he became a successful artist, even more than being a photographer, which means that he does not try to represent the world as realistically as possible, but by applying various techniques, he adds an extra dimension to his work. He wants to approach his subject as closely as possible: he almost wants to crawl in in order to expose the core. He also loves people: he is sincerely interested in his fellow men and knows how to portray them in a loving way.

Without any effort he experienced the transition from analogue to digital photography. While in the past he physically edited his negatives in various ways, he now uses all sorts of techniques derived from the visual arts, to transform his photographs into unique works of art.

Salman loves traveling and exploring the world. In recent years he has made many trips to Hong Kong, Japan, New York, Iceland and other countries. These journeys have resulted in lots of new works of art that have been shown at various exhibitions in The Netherlands and abroad.

Meanwhile, he has been present in over 400 exhibitions since 1987, in the Netherlands and abroad.

Expressing his emotions is important to Salman Ezzammoury. Above all he wants to make clear his feelings experiencing a moment, a situation or a place. No wonder his photography has a poetic quality and as with poetry can never be completely grasped, but remains elusive, with a mystic quality.

Salman puts a message in his work as well. He believes that art not only enriches society, but he especially thinks that art brings people together. Art as a tool for a better world.

When photography and drawing go hand in hand

I had written, a few years ago, on the experience of the photographer Salman Ezzammoury, who intrigued me at the time by this stylistic diversity - which we consider acceptable, between the various goals, even vocations in a more poetic language; photography: scenes of life, abstraction, portraits, landscapes etc… and I was then convinced that nothing imposes the stylistic symmetry which characterizes the exhibitions of painting at a precise stage of the experience.

This experience of Salman Ezzammoury, on which I had previously written, preserved and still preserves its realism, and thus could always be approached from the traditional angle of art as an expression of " reality "as it is, and the photograph as a fragment of real existence, despite all the differences - and here we avoid using the notion of distortion, made by the artist. The faces at this point were peeking out from behind dark fabrics to varying degrees, as if begging the viewer to save them from the cruelty of fate, reminding them of the inevitable fate that the common man faces. These characters then retained their most likely features, and Salman + Ezzammoury ensured that his captures were faithful to the reality they convey.

Here today he got rid of the domination of this loyalty to reality that some still consider to be essential to any photographic achievement, opting in this new phase for more poetry and aesthetics even at the expense of analog reality . He forges a style in which the vocations of drawing go beyond the tasks of documentation and recording of facts, which means that, for him today, the decline of recording is moving forward towards the victory of aesthetics and formal to the detriment of photography with a rather traditional understanding.

Ezzammoury calls on all its technical expertise in order to process photography for its affiliation to drawing with its new technological concepts which are realized through traditional processing mechanisms, namely the strangeness of the subject of the capture angle, and through the processors provided by the drawing and design programs which create the synthesis of the shots, and adding effects and filters giving the shots a vintage aspect.

Everything that is added to the photographic image, or that which is omitted from it, is in favor of the aesthetics of the final product prepared by the next wedding to which the photography and the drawing inevitably tend. .. It will definitely be a victory for the aesthetic.
