Younes ALAMI, 19 years old, from Morocco. I was into art since birth, I used to draw all the time, but by the year 2016 I started believing I am not good enough and decided to try my hands at cooking, especially cakes since you can get creative and create art pieces. In late 2019 I opened my first small business -Home bakery-, selling cakes! and it was an incredible experience. Sadly, months later, I had to close my shop due to corona virus for everyone’s safety. I gained some money, thanks to my small business, and bought some canvases, acrylic paint, brushes, and started painting; in months I was able to once again start my new small business called ‘YNS paintings’.

All my paintings were sold out in the first 3 days. I was lucky enough to build a community in several social media platforms. BUT once again I had to close my shop temporarily since not only I got admited in UPV but also in my dream career ‘ARCHITECTURE’ since architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and (some) nonbuilding structures.

So I had to move to spain to pursue my dream! Months later, I was able, once again, to open my shop , selling my paintings on top of launching ‘Resin art’, making handmade keychains, jewelry and combs.

Now, I am working on my first -cooking- book called ‘Fkhatr Zwafria’, a collection of easy homemade recipes for my fellow college and high school students. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for me!
