Nabil Ghandour is a Lebanese multidisciplinary artist. A believer in the motto, ‘If you want to break the rules, then learn the rules first’. Thus he schooled in the techniques of the Classic and the Impressionist periods; his approach focuses on reinterpreting color and natural vibrations to evoke dreamlike landscapes.
There’s something peaceful and soothing about a sunset on the sea. It’s like a Xanax to the soul. A refuge from our crowded, loud, busy lives. Sunsets are magical. A dreamy, ethereal moment of awe freely offering us beauty. The colors at sunset are an Alchemy between light and gas, both intangible, then reflecting that color on water which itself is colorless. ‘Rendering that ephemeral light and its reflection has been my greatest challenge and my greatest joy too.’
‘The Alchemy of Color’, is a collection of different sceneries of nature across the world, based on the artist’s photographic portfolio.
