Mouad.M aka Xul is an illustrator and art director from Casablanca whose work navigates the liminal space between mythology, psychology, and culture. Art inspiration from legends and sacred narratives across the world, with a particular fascination for Mesopotamian civilization, he creates threshold art where fragments of humanity from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas, Oceania, and even hypothetical lost continents converge.
Through dark, meditative imagery, he exhumes forgotten stories: marginalized characters and ancient civilizations, revealing histories and voices often overlooked. His work is both a visual archaeology and a symbolic tapestry, weaving origins, myths, and collective memory into forms that resonate in the contemporary world.
Beyond its mythological depth, Xul’s practice is informed by a psychological and anthropological approach. He explores universal archetypes as living structures within the collective unconscious, investigating how these primordial symbols continue to shape modern identity, social dynamics, and cultural imagination. His art acts as a bridge between past and present, individual and collective, inviting viewers to reflect on the threads that connect civilizations and the enduring patterns that guide human experience.
Using a timeless visual language, Xul invokes the sacred as a form of resistance and myth as a conduit between cultures. His work encourages audiences to perceive echoes of shared humanity, listening to the subtle resonances that rise from the depths of our collective consciousness.
