L’Alliance Française Abu Dhabi hosts “Digital Art, Digital Culture” by Houda Bakkali
This exhibition seeks to exemplify the power of digital art to break spatial, temporal and generational borders, creating synergies between different audiences and making art not only timeless, but also universal, close and understandable.
This exhibition features not only some of Bakkali’s most recognized masterpieces inspired by France, Italy or Monaco but also it will feature educational content about digital art, creative process and uses of art and new technologies.

“Digital art is not a trend, it is the present and the future. My art represents the need to tell stories through captivating and surprising environments, in which the viewer can immerse themselves, as is the case with augmented reality.
It’s a way to experience a variety of sensations and emotions with my artwork. It also allows me to expand the story and give it life or several lives, as many as I want. In addition, it’s a way to create more fun and unique environments, involving the viewer in the artwork and making it grow over time with new stories, settings and characters.
“Digital Art, Digital Culture” is a part of a global project focused on creativity and tech to inform, train and entertain, creating art with different uses, explaining new concepts, sharing new ideas and creative process. Creating a universal message of hope and joy, art and creativity, without generational or physical limits. A timeless and useful message.” Houda Bakkali
Bakkali’s exhibition hosted by AF Abu Dhabi is the best example of the versatility of digital art. It’s ability to share synergies with audiences around the world without borders. Through augmented reality and multimedia contents, visitors can enjoy some of Bakkali’s masterpieces.
