For Myriame Dachraoui, personal memory is closely entwined with the imaginative world of Tunisian folklore. Originally trained as an architect, she creates paintings in which familiar interiors acquire strange proportions and uncertain perspectives. Her grandmother has become a recurring presence in her work, less as a conventional portrait than as a figure around whom family memories gather. Dachraoui has also explored El Ghoula, the formidable female creature of North African legend, using its unsettling associations to examine taboos surrounding the female body. The domestic spaces in her paintings are charged with particular significance. Drawing on her own experiences, she considers how the home can offer intimacy while also imposing restrictions on those who inhabit it. Architecture provides a framework through which these tensions become visible.
