North African art is marked by the openness to the various Euro-Mediterranean and
Arab cultural influences that can be found in all forms of modern and
contemporary art.
Its specificity is the cultural crossbreeding specific to North Africa
and the Mediterranean basin which can be both a wealth and an obstacle.
Through its history, North Africa within the Mediterranean has played a
determining role in the history of humanity. A very rich heritage has
spread in these countries thanks to the interbreeding of peoples, the
mobility of traders and the formation of identities that have shaped
this region.

It
is therefore difficult to find a dominant identity or to define a style
specific to the artistic production of North Africa because many
contradictions appear in these societies which assimilate the
Western and Arab-Muslim, Mediterranean and African bi-culturality.
The mixing of populations in this region throughout its history, shows
that the stylistic specificity of North African countries is the
mixture of cultures with various influences, sometimes even within
regions of the same country.

North Africa is a mosaic made up of various cultural influences
throughout its history. Modern art and European painting have strongly
influenced its 20th century artists, particularly in the musical,
pictorial, architectural and others fields.
We find there a common artistic heritage but also a questioning for a recognition to ensure its conservation and enhancement.
