Name artworks
Matière grise
I called my artworks « matière grise » (grey matter in English) for the interconnection the human beings have with the stone. We interconnect with the stones in an organic manner evoking a sense of spirituality, human consciousness and enlightenment.

Biography
Mounat Charrat was born in Casablanca, she lives and works in this same city. Along with her diploma in applied foreign languages, she received artistic training in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Académie Charpentier. Since the beginning of the 2000s, Mounat has been developing a protean artistic practice that questions the theme of the human condition in a poetic and philosophical way. Through the diversity of the mediums used, she tirelessly explores the universal history of the individual and examines more particularly the memorial and intimate relationship he maintains with the world in which he evolves, the artist seeks rhetoric through an operating mode stopped while leaving room for random intuitions, where the notion of time, space and play is determining.
