Nina Boughanim

A multifaceted artist, her work spans drawing, sculpture, writing, and installation. Driven by a desire to understand her personal history and the territories she inhabits, she feeds her research with the landscapes she encounters, as well as questions around generational transmission, knowledge, but also doubts and traumas. Based on this premise, she embarks on a process of collecting and assembling where she seeks to find a sensitivity in a material, a surface, or a form, connected by a common history to her own. Fiction allows her to give another meaning to the images she produces by diverting them. Through it, tensions between the materials and the symbolism she assigns to them are reflected. She examines the ambivalences that exist through her personal constructions and external influences, which she seeks to translate by bringing together opposing intentions. Nina Boughanim was born in 1995 in Marseille, where she lives and works. An artist evolving in various fields from sculpture to drawing, writing, and installation. She trained in trompe-l’œil decor, studied for a few months at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts, and graduated with honors from the École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille in 2022. ...
