Amine El Gotaibi (born 1981, Marrakesh, Morocco) is a Moroccan contemporary artist whose practice explores light, space, and transformation as metaphors for cultural and social change. He is part of a new generation of creators shaping African contemporary art through large-scale installations, sculptural works, and conceptual projects.

El Gotaibi often works with materials such as earth, metal, and light, combining traditional references with experimental forms. His installations frequently reflect on resilience, migration, and collective memory, transforming abstract concepts into immersive visual experiences. Through this approach, he positions himself as both an observer and a storyteller of shifting landscapes, identities, and histories.

His works have been exhibited internationally, from Africa to Europe and the Middle East, and are included in private and institutional collections. Recognized for his monumental outdoor projects as well as his precise gallery-scale works, El Gotaibi continues to expand the global visibility of North African artistic practices.

At Alexia Werrie Gallery in Brussels, his work resonates with the gallery’s commitment to presenting contemporary African art within the European context. His practice opens dialogue between Moroccan heritage and international contemporary aesthetics, making him an important voice in today’s global art scene.

As an art consultant and Dealer, I guide collectors in shaping a personal and inspired visual universe. My approach explores the dialogue between abstraction, materiality, and light, where art becomes part of everyday life.
