Orphaned by his father at three and by his mother at six, he was raised by his sister Zina. While tending sheep, he could not attend school and he could neither read nor write. In 1948, he left Tunisia. After working as a baker, he became a boxer before turning himself into an actor-singer. In 1978 and 1980, he exhibited at the Winter Salon. In the 1980s, he settled in Paris. Discovered by Jean Dubuffet, his work as a painter and sculptor is akin to outsider art and singular. He is represented in brut art museums and in private collections, including the Lille Métropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art. He died on October 21, 2021 in Paris; Jaber Al Mahjoub is buried in his hometown. To pay tribute, an exhibition of his works on the exterior walls of Pavillon Carré de Baudouin took place from January to May 2022.
