With meticulous precision, the Moroccan young man, Fouad Kabdani, draws and engraves on everything that is small. His artworks may not be found drawn on paintings as is customary, but you may find a painting on rice grains or even pencils.
And about his talent, Fouad Kabdani told “The Seventh Day”: “My talent in drawing started from a young age, and what I have reached now is after long work and many years and great fatigue, and I only develop my skills through self-education without resorting to academic studies.”

And about the reason for choosing the art of drawing on miniatures, Fouad said: “The art of miniatures I chose because it depends on skills and features, including real patience, and the method of holding the pen and tools to draw on a small thing without causing trembling or strong movement to the point that you hold your breath for seconds while you sculpt or draw on beads. Rice, lentils, or even engraving on a stone or lipstick.”
He continued, “Any mistake or slight trembling may make you lose work, and I am used to it. Repeating any work may make me benefit and strengthen my patience more.”

The young Moroccan Fouda Kabdani added, “Before you make your way to this world, you must have several rules and experiences in drawing on paper or paintings, as well as drawing in three dimensions. I say that miniature art is much more difficult than drawing on large sizes, as I also paint on different sizes and this It depends on sculpture as well, every art has its beauty and life is not limited to one art or a specific art, and everything is valid for art and the difference is beautiful, this only depends on your creative mind, deep thinking and patience.”

Regarding the time it takes Fouad to finish his artwork, he said: “All works without exception take a great deal of time and effort from me, but from the most among them. Very miniature landscapes.”
