The dreamlike and sarcastic paintings, masterfully executed by Karabibene, lead us into his hybrid

universe and playfully "staged" in a dreamlike manner with a whole range of mythical characters.

Before referring to Western art, Karabibene is mainly inspired by the local figurative tradition,

which is found in the Roman mosaics of the Bardo museum, and popular painting under glass in Tunisia.

Since 2007, Karabibene has also pursued a conceptual and multidisciplinary artistic practice, in

which he wanted encourage the public authorities to inaugurate the first Tunisian National Museum

of Modern and Contemporary Art (MNAMC) in Tunisia. With a pressure cooker as the symbol and

shape of the future Museum. Karabibene uses social networks, events and exhibitions to effectively

launch this fiction of the museum until it comes into being.

Karabibene studied architecture and attended the National School of Fine Arts in Paris.

His work has been exhibited widely in private institutions and museums around the world, notably

at the ifa gallery in Berlin, Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, Barjeel Foundation in Sharjah, Kamel

Lazaar Foundation, Museo Vittoriano in Rome, the Algiers Museum of Modern Art, Zoom Art fair

Miami USA, Museo Pontevedra Spain, Dakar Biennale etc. .

Since 2015 the artist lives and works in Berlin.
