This distinction marks a major milestone in the artistic journey of Hachem Amzil, who has made the Arabic letter a fundamental element of his creative practice.

For him, it serves as a source of motivation to further develop his artistic practice and explore new possibilities offered by the letter, both visually and expressively.

“I give thanks to God for His grace and guidance, which have enabled me this year to receive the Mohammed VI Prize for Excellence in the Art of Calligraphy – 10th Edition, 2026. The competition was of an exceptionally high level… This competition represents a genuine source of support and encouragement for the development and greater recognition of this art on the artistic scene of our country…”
He also emphasized that this distinction does not represent merely a prize for him, but rather an important milestone in his artistic journey and an invitation to continue researching and experimenting within the world of the letter, transforming it into a space for creation, expression, and beauty.

The Mohammed VI Prize for Excellence in the Art of Lettrism: A Recognition of an Artistic Journey
An Artistic Approach Between Letter and Experimentation
Hachem Amzil’s artistic practice is rooted in a contemporary vision of calligraphy, through which he seeks to free the letter from its direct linguistic function and consider it instead as a visual form capable of generating rhythm, movement, balance, and expression.
His work is characterized by a diversity of techniques and a constant openness to experimentation, employing a range of processes and media to develop a distinctive visual language of his own. Contrast between light and shadow also occupies a central place in his works, alongside the use of dimension, depth, and transparency, which lend his compositions a sense of dynamism and visual presence.
Through the superposition of visible and concealed layers, as well as the interaction of light with spaces and forms, Amzil seeks to create works whose perception evolves according to the light, distance, and viewing angle. This interplay between letter, color, light, and transparency gives his work a sensory and contemplative dimension that transcends the boundaries of traditional form.
Thus, in his artistic practice, calligraphy evolves from a technical practice associated with writing into an open space for visual research, where heritage meets modernity and the letter becomes a plastic element capable of expressing movement, emotion, and thought.
Gratitude and Recognition
On this occasion, artist Hachem Amzil extends his sincere thanks and deepest appreciation to the organizers of the Mohammed VI Prize for Excellence in the Art of Calligraphy, as well as to everyone who contributed to the success of this initiative. He also expresses his gratitude to all those who have believed in his artistic practice and supported him throughout his journey. The artist emphasizes that this distinction does not mark an end in itself, but rather a new milestone that encourages him to continue his work, research, and experimentation, with the ambition of creating works that transform the letter into an open space for creativity, expression, and beauty.
