Hasnae El Ouarga is a Moroccan visual artist born in Salé in 1993, who lives and works in Marrakech. A graduate of the École des Arts Visuels de Marrakech, her practice centers on the complexity of the photographic image and its relationship to memory, time, and the unconscious. Working primarily with cyanotype — an early photographic process that uses sunlight and chemistry to produce striking blue-toned prints — she incorporates stone as a natural element to evoke an inaccessible yet ever-present past, treating each work as a meditative and alchemical act of remembrance. Her work has been presented at major international venues including Hannah Traore Gallery in New York and the Jajjah Gallery in Marrakech, and has entered prestigious collections including those of the Rockefeller Foundation, Dior, the Montresso Art Foundation in Marrakech, and the National Museum of Photography in Rabat. She has also been represented at Art Paris at the Grand Palais, cementing her place as one of the most compelling emerging voices in contemporary Moroccan art.
