Meet the Artist

Soumiya Jalal

Soumiya Jalal is a Moroccan architect and artist whose contemporary textiles radiate with striking natural beauty. From her training as an architect, she has kept a taste for detail and a passion for technique which she uses to create her modern textures. In her work, sensation, light, and a vision of nature radiate from plant, animal, and mineral fibers. Combined, like a musical score, the creative harmonies between matter and color, density, and matte or shiny surfaces continually shift, renewing the technical challenge of handcrafting. She practices her art in Marrakech, close to the heritage she strives to preserve.
