Participating in various exhibitions and artistic events in Tunisia and Paris, Karima's art has found its place in art galleries in France. Her work has been praised for its originality and emotional quality, transporting the viewer into a realm of sensations and emotions.
My artistic work explores important themes such as loneliness and time. My pieces seek to express a personal and intimate understanding of these universal concepts by representing them visually. In this way, my work can be perceived as a poetic and metaphorical exploration of the realities that surround us. I aim to invite viewers to delve into their past and reconnect with the moments that have shaped their lives.
Solitude, Ben cheikh Karima.
Theme of Solitude:
Solitude holds a significant place in my artistic work. To me, solitude is a necessity for creation, reflection, and self-connection. In my pieces, I aim to portray solitude as a positive and inspiring experience rather than a source of sadness or despair.
Theme of Time:
I believe that the past and the future are relative concepts, as everything unfolds in the present. My works serve as testaments to this idea, where each new creation is an extension of the present. I often utilize existing canvases to craft new pieces, embodying my artistic approach that reflects my perspective on time and the continuity of the present.
