One
of the characteristics of Moroccan craftsmen is the richness of the knowledge
which they accumulate through the centuries. In the field of Zellij, the maallem
Megzari Haj Larbi, Ben Mohammed Ben Ghali Ben Abbas, represents the fourth
generation of Maallems "Zellijers".
A unique artisan, he excels in
his work and is the one and only expert in this Arabic/Muslim art. Born in Fez,
he devoted his whole life to this noble trade with great love. He uses his
genius to conceive colour, assemble and present traditional designs which dazzle
the eye.
Eager
to perpetuate his art, he managed to instil in his sons the rudiments of the
trade since childhood. Holding graduate degrees, the sons introduced a touch of
modernity, while respecting tradition. They created new models and new designs
on the computer. They also succeeded in making applications to other materials
such as: marble, wood, copper, plaster, and ceramics. This all became possible
thanks to the computer-assisted design and cuttings recently introduced by the
fifth generation “Maalems”.
