Eager to explore different universes, Assia spent several years navigating between interior design, children’s book illustrations and mural decorative painting.

Over 15 years, she collaborated as a designer and decorative painter with many corporates clients like  Hoo Design studio, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, Van Cleef & Arpels Hong Kong, Newsprint Group, VSH, Yoga Up, Petit Bazaar, Green Common, TED x Tin Hau Women and numerous private clients.

Her paintings have been featured in global art exhibitions and contemporary art fairs like Art Central, the Asia Contemporary Art show in Hong Kong or The Other Art Fair in London.
Her works have been selected to participate in different charity auctions for notorious foundations like the Sovereign Art Foundation (Asia) or Art on a Postcard (London). She is represented by Art Rise and Saatchi art.com

​

Her semi-figurative paintings, out of time and space are a celebration of diversity. She sees her art journey like a fruitful world where cultures, traditions and innovations happily find each other.

Her paintings are also an invitation to slow down and in her more recent series “Memories”, she paints scenes that moved her by their poetry and ordinariness.

Exploring and blending through this process, different times, spaces and emotions. 

She uses mostly acrylic paint but enjoys other medium like ink, gouache or oil paint.
