Franco-Moroccan Calligrapher Faouzia Hilmy Mohammed VI Tower Rabat

The culmination of three years of work now stands at 250 meters altitude. Faouzia Hilmy created thirty monumental artworks for the Waldorf Astoria hotel, nestled at the summit of Mohammed VI Tower. Recently inaugurated by Prince Moulay El Hassan, this project resonates as a homecoming for the artist born in Toulouse to Moroccan parents. "I wish my father could have seen this," she confides emotionally, seeing in this success a true personal victory.

Nothing predestined the youngest of six sisters to this ancestral art. After marketing studies in Paris and a decisive trip to the United States, it was ultimately in Toulouse that she had the breakthrough for calligraphy. According to La Dépêche du Midi, the artist quickly seduced major international agencies, collaborating with Armani and the Orchestre du Capitole. Her letters, which she compares to "classical dancers," now carry a universal message of peace and brotherhood.

Today a resident of the Argoulets neighborhood, the Franco-Moroccan calligrapher shines far beyond the Pink City. Her creations are now featured at the Louvre Abu Dhabi as well as the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. Fulfilled, Faouzia Hilmy perfectly embodies the success of the diaspora. Between tradition and modernity, she has transformed her "dream"—the meaning of her name—into a concrete reality proudly displayed on the rooftop of the Kingdom’s capital.
