            Since 1996, Tazi forgave all his other activities to give himself heart and soul to paint

III - PAINTING :
       The reality, Tazi has never forgiven his first love, painting. In the same way, he always has painted and exhibited in Morroco and elswhere. Since 1968 especially, date of his first individual exhibition in the American Cultural Center Gallery in Rabat, he has not stopped painting and exhibiting his works, at least once every two years to get impressions and obsevations from publics and critics.
           In Morroco, Tazi has exhibited in many towns, among which Rabat (many times), Fes, Casablanca, Marrakech, Tanger, Agadir, Oujda... As his exhibitions often has taken place in cultural, university and olso sports centers, as the yacht-club or Frensh-Morrocan Alliance of Rabat, Tazi refrained from selling his painting in these places... He has teken part in collective exhibitions with local and international artists.
           Abroad, he has especially exhibited in Nice and in area where many of his wife’s family members live. So in an exhibition entitced “ International Great Prize of Plastic arts ”, organized at Saint-Laurent du Var” in November 2001 by “ Eagle of Nice”, one of Tazi’s pictures has received the prize “ Trophy of Friends of painter Andre Aubert ” . The next year, two of his pictures have been selected to take part to one frensh-japneese collective exhibition has taken in March, in Nice. On that occasion, an “ Honour Diploma ” has been aworded to the painter.

IV – CONCEPTION :
According to Tazi, a painter put on his paintings a little of his soul and that this spark and those that contemplate finished work find to meet and have a dialogue with the artist through his workfrom soul to soul.
Abstract painting, especially keeps the flight of time in abeyance, reduces the space as it pleases. It is before everything art of signs that expresses soul and its mood, beyond space and time; otherwise, a painting amateur can communicate with a painter from other age. That is fantastic and extraordinary.
