Notably, Boudarqa is also an accomplished photographer, specializing in portraits.
His photographic work is distinguished by its cinematic quality, with each portrait comparable to a powerful movie scene.
Through his lens, Boudarqa captures the essence of his subjects' personalities, creating images that are both visually striking and psychologically revealing.
While claiming objectivity, Boudarqa's work across all mediums is deeply personal, touching on emotions and rarely addressed themes. His art is celebrated for its finesse, sensitivity, depth, and creativity.
Through his multifaceted practice, Boudarqa contributes significantly to the contemporary Moroccan art scene, pushing boundaries and exploring human experience through his distinctive visual language in both paint and photographs.
Described as an artist who lives and breathes for art, Boudarqa continues to approach his work with great sensitivity, often revisiting his own pieces with a profound gaze and sketching humanitarian messages in his diverse body of work.
