Blue

Color of infinity, escape, or that protects from the evil eye…: all shades of blue exist in Morocco. There is that, foster, of the sea and the ocean. In the Anti-Atlas, an artist created a monumental blue work in a lunar landscape of dark granite, while the painter Majorelle left his name to the bright blue that adorns his villa in Marrakech. Drawn from an ore, the blue of Fez is the symbol of the oldest medina in the world: zelliges, small hand-cut pieces that decorate fountains, buildings and ancestral palaces.
