About Me – A Journey from Pain to Hope

Welcome to Elyaakoubi Gallery, where every painting is born from the heart and speaks to the soul. I am a Moroccan visual artist whose path has been shaped by both struggle and resilience. My journey through depression and life’s challenges—especially raising a son with autism—once left me feeling powerless. For a long time, I hesitated to share my story. But I realized that silence helps no one.

Through painting, I discovered a way to express my pain, my hopes, and my connection with my son—a connection that words alone could not build. My artworks reflect my inner battles, my healing, and my deep desire to transform suffering into beauty.

Each brushstroke is an act of strength, each canvas a window to hope. My mission is to create one-of-a-kind, hand-painted pieces that not only transform spaces but also inspire hearts. Whether you’re an art lover or a collector, I invite you to explore a world where emotions come to life, and where every artwork tells a story of courage, transformation, and light.
