Profile
Artist

Hicham Berrada’s work combines knowledge and intuition, science and poetry. His works are an exploration of the scientific protocols that closely imitate natural processes and/or climactic conditions. “I strive to master the phenomena I mobilize much like a painter masters his pigments and his brushes. My pigments and my brushes are heat, cold, magnetism and light.”

Born in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1986, Hicham Berrada lives and works in Paris and in Roubaix, France. His works have been displayed in a series of individual and collective exhibitions: at the Louvre-Lens, at the Hayward Gallery in London, at the Bernard A.
