AMINA AGUEZNAY

Born in 1963 in Casablanca, she lives and works in Casablanca.

After secondary school in Casablanca, Amina Agueznay decided to study architecture, enrolling at the Catholic University of America, Washington DC, where she obtained a Bachelor of Architecture degree in December 1989. She managed several architectural projects in the United States. This experience inspired her to create a universe somewhere between design and art. She turned to the creation of jewelry, but in a very particular way. As a result, her creations have remained attached to architecture. Her first approach was to build in miniature what she had conceived and realized in monumental form.

Since 1999, when she exhibited at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, Amina Agueznay has taken part in contemporary art shows (Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, New York, Paris, Algiers, Lille, Rotterdam, Stuttgart, Berlin), international fairs (Zurich, Basel, Vienna, Paris) and regularly runs workshops (Kristiansand, Istanbul, Domaine de Boisbuchet, and in Morocco).
In 2010, she won the prestigious Mediterranean Fashion Prize.

Her world is distinguished by the use of unusual materials and the creation of modules that combine architecture and jewelry.
