Magharbeh Wahid - Landscape

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Wahid is very attentive to a naturalistic rendering of the landscape and possesses a confident technique that allows him to faithfully capture what he sees on canvas. The atmospheric quality of the air is perfectly captured. The objects depicted blend delicately with the surrounding space, thanks to a highly refined sfumato technique. Light permeates the entire scene, and the artist is also capable, with quick brushstrokes, of capturing all the luminous vibrations of the leaves and other vegetation. The work is also very balanced compositionally.

Magharbeh Wahid is a Syrian artist born in Aleppo in 1942. He displays a high level of academic technique. He remains faithful to a concept of art based on the imitation of nature and allows little subjectivity. His style is therefore very realistic, yet shows some traits of idealization.
