She holds a BA in photography and a Masters in Visual Arts from the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Sousse.

She creates her own narratives by juxtaposing still and/or moving images. Her homeland permeates all of her work, with its diverse and contemporary influences that transcend cultural boundaries.

Born in Tunis in 1990, Safa Attyaoui is a self-taught visual artist.
Daughter of doctors, she initially studied engineering before devoting herself to drawing, her lifelong vocation. Her love of blue ink began in childhood, when an ink stain on her apron became the starting point for her artistic practice.
Pen drawing, her preferred technique, serves as a narrative tool to reveal the emotional sensitivity of personal and collective life experiences. Attyaoui's artistic approach is intuitive and her drawings are an exploration of her subconscious, where the infinite relationships, both visible and invisible, that influence the human condition are woven.
Over the past seven years, she has enriched her practice through residencies in Tunis, France and Belgium, and has participated in over forty exhibitions in Tunisia. In 2020, she presented her first solo exhibition at the Chapelle Sainte Monique in Carthage, followed by 'Dream Whisper' at the Musk and Amber gallery in 2024

His practice combines craft and vernacular techniques with different typologies and materials such as aluminium, car paint and installation, to produce artefacts that a person of the future would approach with the same fascination that Kaïs expresses towards the relics of the past.
His work is regularly shown in international exhibitions, notably in Tunisia, France, Belgium, Germany and the United Arab Emirates.
