Abdallah Sadouk (25 December 1950 – 15 February 2026) was a Moroccan painter and engraver.[1]

Life and career

Born in Casablanca on 25 December 1950, Sadouk studied at the School of Arts of Tetouan from 1967 to 1969 before continuing his education at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He started his career in France before making his first public exhibitions in Morocco in 1995, 1999, and 2002.[2] Although he lived in Paris throughout his career, he maintained a close connection to his Moroccan roots.[3] His paintings followed a style of abstract landscapes,[4] though he also ventured into sculpture later in his career.[5] He maintained an element of Berber influence in his works.[6]

Sadouk died in Paris on 15 February 2026, at the age of 75.[7]
