Abdellah Oulachgar is a Moroccan visual artist and a student at the Institut National des Beaux-Arts. His practice blends painting, installation, and Sculpture often centered around the everyday object of the clothespin, reimagined as a symbol of memory, connection, and daily life.
Oulachgar explores personal and collective stories through playful yet thoughtful compositions. He enjoys working across mediums and has been experimenting many different techniques to expand his visual language.
His work is rooted in observation, nostalgia, and the desire to turn simple materials into meaningful experiences.

I like to start from basic, small, ordinary things. A clothespin, a sound, a memory, something simple that brings me back to real moments.
In my work, I use the clothespin as a central element. It’s something we all know, ordinary, but it carries a lot of meanings. For me, it’s a way to explore themes like connection, pressure, care and routine. I try to take this small object and give it a new voice, through painting, installation, and even printing techniques like gravure and serigraphie.
I get my inspiration from childhood memories. Sometimes from objects I see every day. I use brushstrokes, textures, and space to make them visible, poetic, and open for anyone to feel somthing through them.
Art, for me, is a way to collect these moments, small details, transform them, and let them breathe in a new form
