HAMZA SELLMY (B.1994)

Hamza Sellmy is a visual artist and entrepreneur based in Sousse, Tunisia.

Self-taught, he explores multiple disciplines, notably painting, illustration, animation and design. His work stands out through a pop and offbeat aesthetic, populated by cubist-inspired figures with tired eyes and raw emotions. Often depicted in solitude, these characters translate the tensions of contemporary North African youth, oscillating between isolation, hyperculture and the quest for identity.

Founder of the creative studio Banjer, Sellmy intersects art and design through projects related to fashion, communication and visual culture. He frequently integrates elements of Tunisian culture — such as the local dialect and Tamazight — into his creations, establishing an intimate relationship with his audience while fostering intercultural dialogue.

His work has been presented during Group Shows in Tunisia, notably at the Galerie Yosr Ben Ammar in Tunis, as well as in galleries in France, Italy and Japan. His practice has also been highlighted in international publications, including Dune Magazine, Ancre Magazine and Divide Magazine (London).
