About the artists and the work:

Artist Yasmina Alaoui and photographer Marco Guerra live and work in New York City.  

Originally from Morocco and Chile respectively, the couple has been collaborating since 2003, and have successfully been collected and exhibited in many individual and group exhibitions in the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia. 

In their collaborative series "one thousand and one dreams", statuesque bodies appear frozen in time, covered from head to toe in meticulously detailed, contemporary arabic drawings. Captivated by the realism and sculptural quality of each human form, the viewer becomes lost in an illusion.  

Each artwork begins with a black and white nude photograph by Guerra. Layers of Alaoui's complex ink drawings are then fused with the portrait, with breathtaking results.
