Said Hossanee is a painter/engraver of various facets,deeply
rooted in his multicultural environment.His artistic production depicts and reflects his emotional affinity to his motherland Mauritius.
Hossanee is a contemporary artist who has developed a pallet of pure colours very much present in the Mauritian landscape. The vibration and play of colours and forms are very particular to him,his style and signature.
His recent works are indeed “ a statement for diversity”- an element of dialogue.
The artist`s commitment to world of visual arts along with his regular participation in national and international events are proof of his active role in the local & abroad artistic milieu.
