Myriame DACHRAOUI

I am a visual artist working between Tunis and London, always drawn to landscapes that hold silence, memory, and mystery. In this collaboration with Bardo Collections, I’ve created a series of ceramic pieces , plates and vases , that are not just vessels, but stories told in pigment and form. Each piece was hand-painted as one might write in a diary, instinctively, intimately. I worked with natural pigments to capture the spirit of the Sahara, not as it is seen in photographs, but as it is felt: vast, dreamlike, and filled with invisible presences. As I painted, I conjured the night sky over the dunes, the hush of solitary trees, the flicker of distant animals, the mirage-like shimmer of heat on sand. These images came not from observation but from memory, emotion, and reverie , fragments of desert dreams. What emerged is a collection of unique, hand-painted ceramics : each one a quiet object of contemplation. They are both functional and poetic, humble yet luminous. Small altars to the desert and its endless capacity to inspire awe. This project is an homage to slowness, to craft, and to the transformative power of place. A dialogue between earth and glaze, between the gesture of the hand and the immensity of the landscape.
