A new body of paintings by Fares THABET, the celebrated Tunisian artist whose ethereal landscapes have captured the transformative light and chromatic intensity of North Africa. Working from his studio in the bay of Tunis, Thabet continues to explore the intersection of observation and imagination, creating compositions that transcend geographical specificity while remaining rooted in Mediterranean luminosity.

Thabet's recent paintings present scenes of paradoxical complexity and serenity—works where sandy beaches blush rose-pink, seas dissolve into turquoise-green gradients, and skies transform into tangerine orange at dusk. These tranquil environments exist primarily in imagination yet bear traces of human habitation, occasionally revealing lone figures, drifting boats, or entire abandoned cities merging seamlessly with their surroundings.
