Description
This artwork presents a striking portrait of a woman adorned in vibrant attire. Her orange hat, matched with a similarly hued garment, draws immediate attention, reflecting warmth and vitality. The artist skillfully uses bold brushstrokes, imbuing the woman's facial features with depth and character. Her large, captivating green eyes are intricate and highlight her expression. The black hair contrasts sharply with the bright colors, enhancing her enigmatic presence. Subtle details, such as the gold necklace, add a touch of elegance. The muted gray background ensures the focus remains on the woman, accentuating her vivid depiction. This piece uniquely combines bold color choices and expressive detail, offering a modern interpretation of traditional portraiture.
Presentation
My name is Moktar El Agili. I sign my paintings with the pseudonym "Mela" which is a contraction of my name. I was born in 1940 and spent my first 20 years in Tunisia. Thanks to a scholarship from the government, I left to France to attend the University in Paris. Upon graduation, I joined a weekly magazine based in Paris as a reporter on North African affairs. Then I moved to a north American company where I was given the challenge to develop and grow their business in the Middle East. I lived in Beirut, Cairo, Cyprus, Racine in the USA and finally settled in London where I retired. I wrote a book about my life (so far) and then happily went to painting.
Â
During most of my early life, from grammar school to university and well after, I was interested mainly in math, engineering, cosmology, chemistry and generally in all those things, where accuracy, precision and hard facts are the substance. It was only when my career as a business executive started to wind down, Â that I discovered literature, Jazz and Art. It was by painting in particular that I felt most attracted. I started watching painting sessions on TV and took a few courses. But the real spark happended when I started watching our friend Gernot Kissel painting from live. Gernot was a German expressionist painter. Looking at him, fully immersed in his colours, brushes and palettes, breathing heavily, looking from time to time, with lust at his subjet/model, walking forward to his easel and throwing his rapid successive strokes on the canvas, producing a scratchy noise.
Â
It is my pleasure, today, to show a few of my works, starting with flowers, through Artsper, impressed to find myself among many talented painters from all over the world. I feel so fortunate.
