Younes Laarissa

Younes Laarissa is a self-taught Moroccan contemporary artist whose leather and textile collages fuse ancestral craft with sharp geometric abstraction into vivid, emotionally resonant works.

Working from Marrakech, Laarissa layers nubuck, henna-dyed fabrics, and watercolor beneath high-contrast palettes and precise geometric structure. His "Africa Angels" series sits at the intersection of fashion, identity, and emotional atmosphere—bridging traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with the contemporary spirit of African art to evoke joy and peace across cultural boundaries.

Laarissa's work has earned international recognition, including a feature on Italian national television through Reflection for Change and curation by Double Decker for Four Seasons collections in London, Marrakech, and Rabat. He has exhibited at Scoop Miami Art Fair via Loupe Art X Artsy, Mitochondria Gallery in Houston, and Art4U Gallery in Casablanca.
