Mohamed Lekleti

Born in Morocco in 1965, Mohamed LEKLETI studied fine arts in Rabat. He continued his studies in Montpellier, where he lives and works today.

Passionate about drawing and reading, Mohamed LEKLETI centers his work around myths.

At first, he works around issues such as the void and creates elongated characters; today, Lekleti embraces space in its totality, bringing it, through progressive distortions, to the circular shapes, a dynamic setting of the characters, that occupy the whole surface of the canvas.

His technique fits his ideas, as Mohamed Lekleti blurs the limit between drawing and painting by mixing acrylic, charcoal, felt pens, sand…

Enjoying a well-deserved recognition, Mohamed Lekleti has numerous exhibitions in France and abroad (USA, Korea, Germany, Morocco, Belgium, Switzerland…).
