Mona Tahar is a contemporary Moroccan artist and painter based in Casablanca. Her work moves between portraiture, Arabic calligraphy and abstraction, exploring identity, memory, belonging and cultural expression through colour, texture and expressive forms. Drawn to the beauty and visual power of Arabic letters, Mona Tahar sees calligraphy as more than language—it is a connection to identity and heritage. The human face and portraiture allow her to explore another form of connection: the shared emotions and humanity that bring the viewer closer to the artwork. Rooted in Moroccan culture, her practice brings together faces, letters and symbols to create layered compositions that feel both contemporary and deeply connected to Moroccan and Arab heritage. At the heart of her work is a search for belonging—to understand it, express it, and invite others to feel it.
