Billel Decherani works primarily with oil pastels and oil paint on canvas and paper. His practice draws from elements found in his immediate surroundings, shifting between the two places he inhabits: Médéa, nestled in the Tell Atlas mountain range, and Algiers, the coastal capital of Algeria, just an hour’s drive away. Each work is built through layers that are added, erased, and reworked, nothing is planned. The image grows through intuition and risk, evolving into something that, by chance, feels right to him.
