Somaya Khayati

Creating is an essential part of who I am. It shapes the way
I think, observe, and interact with my surroundings.

I move intuitively between abstract painting, sculpture,
and the creation of decorative objects.

Nature often influences my work, as well as a simple
desire to create something beautiful and pleasing.
Through my practice, I try to capture a sense of balance,
softness, and quiet presence.
My artistic approach is deeply rooted in a need to create, driven by the excitement of exploring new materials and giving form to ideas, impressions, or reinterpretations.
I do not follow established rules or specific artistic movements. Instead, my work is guided by intuition, energy, and the emotions of the moment. Because of this, my creations can vary greatly — they are often different from one another, both in form and in the feelings they evoke.
I create according to my mood, which sometimes leads to unfinished pieces, each reflecting a particular moment in time rather than a fixed outcome.
I am currently taking sculpture classes at the Academy of Arts in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre,
where I am encouraged to step outside my comfort zone and push my thinking and creative process further
