Mokcheh’s passion for photography and art was initiated the very first time he encountered a film SLR – starting to take photography seriously in 2008.
“For me, Photography is not just about taking a picture following the usual rules of engagement. I am constantly striving to create a real yet imaginary world through my artworks - borne from my feelings, passions and interests such as philosophy, art history, surrealism and photography.”
As a writer, Mokcheh has penned the notable series "ألق," which delves into human experiences with a narrative and descriptive style that balances emotional depth with objective detail, making it suitable for news material. His writing often explores themes of history, culture, and personal identity.

In addition to his artistic endeavors, Mokcheh is a senior technician in industrial quality, specializing in textiles and clothing. This technical background enriches his artistic practice, providing a unique intersection of creativity and precision.
La Reconquista is a poignant solo virtual exhibition by Mohamed Amine Mokcheh, exploring the themes of historical oppression and resilience. This collection delves into the tumultuous history of Spain, drawing parallels between the treatment of Moriscos—Muslims who were forcibly converted to Christianity during the Reconquista.
Through a series of powerful artworks, Mokcheh sheds light on this dark chapter of history, using his unique blend of photography and narrative to evoke a deep emotional response. Each piece in the exhibition is meticulously crafted to reflect the pain, struggle, and ultimate resilience of those who lived through these oppressive times.
