Zineb Mezzour is a Swiss-Moroccan visual artist and data scientist based between Marseille & Zurich, exploring the intricate intersection of nature’s mathematical, spiritual, and aesthetic dimensions. Her work delves into the symbolism of fractals, discovered by mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, revealing geometric shapes that mirror themselves infinitely. This concept, echoing across nature in forms like corals, moss, and tree roots, inspires her artistic practice. Zineb transposes these fractal motifs into diverse mediums—paper, ceramics, and photography—capturing the balance between complexity and simplicity, chaos and order, the finite and the infinite.
In her latest works, Zineb navigates between the realms of the micro and macro, finding infinite universes within each entity, from atoms to the cosmos, illustrating the boundless nature of existence. Her work is a spiritual journey, a portal into the present moment, where the interplay of ink and water captures fleeting creativity. She sees art as a lens through which we shape our perspective, inviting viewers to explore different scales of perception, embodying both giants and dust, infinite beings amid vast cosmic interconnections.
Represented by the Myriem Himmich Gallery in Morocco, Zineb’s work has been exhibited at the 1-54 fair in Marrakech and London, as well as at the Menart Fair in Paris. Her pieces are held in the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL) in Marrakech and have been featured in publications such as Vogue France, AD Middle East, Harper’s Bazaar France, and Matqaf.
