MOHAMED amine hamouda (b.1981)

Mohamed Amine Hamouda, a visual artist and teacher-researcher, born in 1981 in Gabès, lives and works in his hometown.

His practice is rooted in the unique ecosystem of the maritime oasis of Gabès, which he explores through natural materials and artisanal processes. Making his own inks, papers, and supports from local plant matter — henna, palm fronds, olives, corête — he develops an ecological and activist approach, centered on memory, biodiversity, and vernacular knowledge.

His installations, sculptures, and woven works question the relationship between nature and industry, matter and disappearance. Through a sensory and poetic language, he weaves a living link between the artistic gesture and the territory, between tradition and contemporary ecological urgencies.

His work has been presented in several solo and group exhibitions in Tunisia and internationally (Morocco, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Kuwait). He teaches at the Institut Supérieur des Arts et Métiers de Gabès and is pursuing a doctoral research in art at the Université de Lorraine.
