About Ixhen

I always wanted for my art to be special and different, this is why I decided to give it a unique brand name.

I have to admit that the name "Ixhen" was proposed by my wife. However, there is actually no special reason why I choose it except the fact that I found it catchy and unique.

About me

My name is Zakariae Fathi, I am originally from Morocco and currently I am living and working in Romania.

I got interested in painting since I was young. I did my first painting when I was 7. All the skills I have now are self-taught thanks to the big passion I have for painting.

When I was a university student in Morocco I was part of the Plastic Art Club at Mohamed 5th University (Faculty of Science), in Rabat and I worked with other students on a project to decorate the university. This was the first time I used professional painting materials and I discovered I love to work with acrylics.

I joined the Association of Plastic Artists in Bucharest in 2016, where I got the chance to meet professional artists and get a lot of support to open my first exhibition.

​

I usually paint for fun and relaxation and when I have the mood. I am particularly interested in landscapes, however with time I got more creative and wanted to try something new that defines my art, so this is how I found myself into modern art.
