Driss Dahhan-Art
who I am?
I'm Driss Dahhan, a self-taught artist. My art teachers recognized my talent and passion for art early on. They offered me private art lessons and recommended I study art. However, I chose a different path: high school diploma with a focus on literature, and later law school. Art, however, has always remained a part of me.
Today I know that this self-taught path is part of who I am. I have learned to trust my intuition and to develop my own form of expression.
What moves me?
Nature, its colors, and its changes have shaped me. Even on my way to school, I sometimes walked along country lanes, sometimes over stony and difficult paths. Looking back, this is a metaphor for my own life journey: there have been easy paths and challenges; and both have shaped me.
For me, color is more than just a design element. It conveys energy, mood, and emotion. That's why I consciously avoid black and trust in the power and spectrum of colors.
