Taquen, a street artist, creates large-scale minimalist murals that embody strength and mutual understanding. His recent work was influenced by his participation in the Sahara Marathon, which advocates for the Sahrawi people's resilience amidst the Western Sahara Conflict. The event highlights the plight of the Sahrawis, whose voices were marginalized by the Madrid Accords in 1975. Taquen's silkscreen print features gestural hands, symbolizing young Sahrawi women, and reflects his commitment to merging art and activism during this significant marathon experience.
The Sahara Marathon has continued to shine a light on the resilience of the Sahrawi people, bringing attention to their plight and struggles through art.
Taquen's expansive works exude momentum, often depicting animals in motion and expressive hands, embodying the importance of movement in his art.
