Surrounded by a vast palm grove, the medina in Marrakech is called the “red city” because of its buildings and ramparts of beaten clay, which were built during the residence of the Almohads. The heart of the medina is Jamaa el-Fna square, a vibrant marketplace.
Marrakech is known as the red city because its pink-tinted buildings reflect the light like a rose quarts gem. Marrakech is also known as the “Red City” due to its famous and inviting red walls, alleys and plazas. These red walls surround the Medina, the old city, and have numerous huge gates that used to be shut at night in the old days. The walls are now iconic and peculiar to this city by all means.
A visit to Marrakech is a magical experience. The city offers plenty of exoticism and romance. It’s a tourist destination that manages to combine the best of Moroccan culture and tradition but with a chilled out vibe and modern amenities too.
These mixed media works on paper are a combination of digital imaging, traditional monotype printing and collage. The paper was made for me using patterns of tiles I saw during my travels to Morocco.
