Dalila Dalléas Bouzar, a contemporary, poetic, and committed artist, is featured in the “MUSE Découverte” art tour, at Saint-Dizier, Maubeuge, and Barentin, on display until September 19th.

Born in 1974 in Oran, Algeria, she grew up in Paris and showed a talent for drawing. After pursuing higher education in biology, she reconnected with art and began working with oil painting. She graduated in 2003 from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Bouzar’s work explores memory, identity, and the condition of women, highlighting inequalities and spiritual quests. She joins feminist artists like Niki de Saint Phalle, Louise Bourgeois, Indian artist Nalini Malani, and Afghan artist Kubra Khademi. Her art is expressed through classical means of painting, drawing, embroidery, or performance, and she does not hesitate to stage herself.

Bouzar’s portraits and self-portraits focus on the human figure, often made up with tribal masks, giving off an aura of mystery and spirituality. Her work “Princesses” depicts women’s faces, inspired by photographic portraits by Marc Garanger, highlighting the respect they deserve.

MUSE Découverte offers an 18-part, chronological exploration of art history, spanning from the ancient Lascaux caves to contemporary art. It features high-definition reproductions and interactive features for an engaging and enjoyable learning experience.
