fadi elchamaa

Fadi has a distinctive painting technique that is simultaneously fluid and solid, raw and muted, figurative and abstract. In an expressive representation of the human figure, the artist stretches the boundaries of the medium of painting to reveal the hidden emotional dimensions of the people around him. Sometimes a character becomes a flower, a tree, a jug, a cat or a plain abstraction. For Fadi everything he paints is a portrait. Fadi El Chamaa is a Lebanese artist based in Baabdat. He is a creative artist working in an eclectic variety of techniques and imagery. Combining a playful nature with an insatiable hunt for the new, Fadi creates a new process for each series of work converging abstraction and realism, the known and the unknown, the sane and the insane. His idiosyncratic work draws the viewer into an intuitive reality.
