Mounir Eddib is a Moroccan-Belgian painter and mixed media artist. While studying Fine Arts in Maastricht (2019–2024), he co-founded The Building / Genk, an artist-driven community that reflects the region's complex migration history. After three years as Young Office Coordinator at Bonnefanten Museum (2022–2025), he decided to focus on his personal career alongside his ongoing role as artistic director of The Building.

Eddib was raised in Oud-Winterslag (Genk), a working-class neighborhood known for its decommissioned coal mines. As the grandson of a miner from the Western Saharan borderlands, his art is inspired by issues of belonging, the rawness of industrial landscapes and North African cosmologies. He draws on Amazigh and Sahrawi rituals and practices to imbue his art with amulet-like properties, and to re-imagine the lives of former mining families and sites.
