All her motifs, which have become internalized and assimilated cultural landmarks, will gradually develop a powerful universe through the prism of a soul, deeply imbued with poetry and an intimate relationship with nature. A universe where colors, initially vivid, interact with stylized forms where the painter takes on the role of an emblem and radiates their meaning far from any temporality.
If Arab, Persian, or Indian miniatures emanated from a religious and spiritual knowledge where the being is the symbol of a loving plenitude and where the eternal image of Adam and Eve in a lost paradise is enjoyed, in painters like Fatima
Hassan or Ouardughi, to name only the most important of this movement, their passion for the garden, floral motifs, branches, if they are not the result of a structured aesthetic reflection, are nonetheless the expression of this same desire for paradise, animated by a faith that unifies and celebrates the relationship between man and God.
Over time the color gradually dilutes and a long process of meditation leads her towards an asceticism where the line, drawn in black Indian ink, comes to mark with its seal, a white space symbolizing purity but even more, an essentiality.
It was in 1984 that she began this long work that accompanied her maturity and accomplishment as a woman in a rather male environment. Fatima Hassan confirms her knowledge of traditional culture and refers to the Malhun to which she was initiated by her father who himself was a craftsman. It is in this sovereignty that we could inscribe this work written like a tale. "The tale of the young Moroccan girl which is in fact the story of everyone's life from birth to the discovery of love, passing through the tenderness of family relationships and the ritual of the stages of life ".
Her saturated canvases invite the viewer to a journey or even a dream where the Morocco and African aspects are omnipresent. Fatima Hassan illustrated the joy of life that comes from her land.
Together with Chaibia Tallal, she is regarded as one of the most talented Moroccan female artists of her generation.
She passed away in 2011.
