More quotes by Massinissa Selmani

I often turn to fiction, but always departing from real elements taken out of newspapers or other sources.

I am particularly interested in the construction of those stories that are related to historical or social events.

These drawn forms do not propose solutions because they project my own uncertainties, research or even my obsessions.

Drawing provides detachment: an easy feeling; it is a tool that helps me try and understand the things that surround me.
