About The Artist
Born in France in 1959, Farid has been drawing and painting from a very young age. His parents rapidly noticed his skill in drawing. Then, barely a teenager, he naturally started painting with gouache paint, and afterward, with oil paint.
He loves painting, but declares his first love of sketching since he grants a primordial importance to the quality and the exactness of his line.
That is the reason why, leaving nothing to chance, he studied perspective in order to deal with his artwork in depth as it has to be.
He is an expert in ancient oil painting methods, in order to get a perfect result by using glazings. He only works with four pigments, either with water colour or oils, yellow ochre, madder lake deep, which is a deep red, ultramarine deep and burnt umber. Therefore he gets different hues perfectly harmonized.
Farid's style can be described as realistic, vivid and very detailed. He is profoundly inspired by the use of chiaroscuro, the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting, which prevails throughout his work.
Appealing to the concept of pareidolia, or the way how things are percieved through a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist, using shapes, shadows and light. Farid sweeps us along into his artistic world where landscapes and people are combined. Surrealism, his central theme, revolves around the beauty of women which, in his pieces, echoes the beauty of nature. It is a kind of optical illusion making the visitor linger on his artwork in order to understand what is hidden, using pareidolia as an artistic and visual tool.
"For me, art is an inner journey and should not simply stop at the boundary of Realism but break through this obstacle and plunge us into the very core of imagination, of surrealism, where each painting brings a moment of silence and a reason to quiet our minds. I think we have to call our imagination, the fantasy, with the help of pareidolia, in order to enthrall the attention of the viewer. Art must not stop to hyperrealism but have to go farther, beyond the boundaries of reality.
If only I could draw a line in the sky to prevent the sun from going down in order to never interrupt creation!"
