About me …
Hi and welcome to my website. I am Zaki Kouidri and I'm a passionate of graphic arts.
Laureate of a C.S.D (DEC) in pre-print graphics, I acquired valuable knowledge during my three years of study. Capitalizing on my anterior professional experiences among world famous companies in the computing field such as Dell computers, I believe I have all the seriousness, dynamism, proactivity and professionalism necessary to manage every project in the best way. Besides my bilingualism french/english, I also speak arabic and some spanish, which helps me being an open-minded person. Having already had the opportunity to achieve major projects, I keep looking forward to face even more daring challenges.
My philosophy …
Art, as everyone of us knows it, has never stopped and will never stop evolving, according to the literary, philosophical, social movements and other contemporary developments.
Modern art, which technology has greatly influenced by eliminating the constraints which were locking it up and by abolishing certain established rules is no exception. However, in my opinion, three necessary rules remain very present up to today. The first one of them is simplicity. Indeed, it is obvious that what is simple is often refined, and what looks beautiful is not necessarily complicated. The second rule is about ergonnomy, which should be one of the most important considerations to take during the creative process, because what is easily readable is logically better appreciated. As for the third rule, it is the attention to the detail. because an art work should always be thoroughly composed so that every detail would bring its share to the global interpretation of the work.
In fact, we can easily notice that while evolving and unleashing innovation and originality, modern art, no matter how the trends were likely to shape its direction, continues to find broad support among a large audience worldwide.
My personal ambition is as simple as contributing, through my creativity ; my mouse and my screen, to the evolution of this art.
