(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Mariouch's artwork focuses on a group of miners from Balima or Anjil, the given name of the mining city Ahouli Mibladen, 25 km away from Midelt, nestled in a remote hill located in the Middle Atlas.
400 km away from this 'ghostly city,' as Meriouch labeled it; there is Jerrada, a neglected city. Abandoned 15 years ago, it was is the oldest mining site in Africa, 60 km south of Oujda.

'[My] lens is considered an eyewitness of concrete excerpts of the miners' daily life.'
Mariouch graduated from Casablanca's High School of Fine Art. He first studied plastic arts and graphic design before switching towards photography.
He has contributed to several newspapers and magazines.
