If Art has to be the only true form of truth and honesty, then painting is a conversation, a more or less disguised fight. Through the creative process, there’s no other way but to be honest with yourself and the artwork that is being created. |...

This captivating painting presents a unique portrayal of an elderly gentleman, characterized by his thoughtful expression and distinctive glasses. The artist employs a vibrant palette, blending cool blues and warm earth tones to create a dynamic background that contrasts beautifully with the subject's monochromatic visage. The backdrop features an abstract representation of nature, with hints of sunflowers reaching towards a colorful sky, infusing the piece with a sense of liveliness and depth. The gentleman's attire, consisting of a dark jacket and a teal sweater, adds a contemporary touch to the overall aesthetic. This painting would be an excellent addition to a modern living room, study, or gallery space, where its vibrant colors and expressive subject can serve as a stimulating conversation starter. It can also enhance the ambiance of creative workspaces or art studios, invigorating the environment with its artistic flair.
This painting belongs to a series of portraits of writers whose work I appreciate.
Here, Naguib Mahfouz, Egyptian writer, Nobel Prize in literature in 1988. He was nicknamed the Zola of the Nile because of his political and social commitment. His Cairo trilogy, which follows the life of a family through three novels, is extremely powerful. |
