Najia Mehadji lives and works between Paris, France and Essaouira, Morocco. By the 1970s, Mehadji’s oeuvre was already marked by a “tangible abstraction” that derived simultaneously from contemporary music and from her work on the body in the experimental environment of the Université de Paris VIII. Since in the 1980s, the work of Naja Mehadji embodied painting and other features of Islamic art such as the cupola, the polygon, flowers, arabesques and calligraphy, bringing forth new concepts and new forms within which the artist conceived her own unique style. Najia Mehadji is one of the best-known Moroccan artists on the international art scene. Her pieces are held in many collections, including those of Société Générale, Morocco; Attijariwafa Bank, Morocco; MACAAL, Morocco; Centre Georges Pompidou, France; Institut du Monde Arabe, France; Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen, France; Musée des Beaux-Arts de Amman, Jordan.
