Paradise

Volume 1



Introduction to the Paradise Series For many of us, the notion of ‘Hell’ and ‘Paradise’ are paradoxical concepts, ridden with uncertainty and doubt as to whether either place can exist except within the human imagination. Yet, in the mind’s constant state of balancing life with illusion, people all over the world think about these imaginary places on a continuous basis. Does Paradise exist? And if so, what does it look like? These are questions that Fayez Barakat has contemplated while creating the series, Paradise. Everyday, we as human beings experience the feeling and sensation of being in paradise or hell, yet these states of being are impossible to define; one person’s hell can be someone else’s paradise, and visa versa. For Fayez Barakat, the concept of Paradise means breaking through old barriers by creating through his paintings a sight of pure beauty that fascinates the mind and elevates the consciousness to a state of pure bliss; to a place which contains the beauty and life of paradise. The subjects and colours used in the Paradise series are intended to be healing to the soul, as much as the influence of the colours is intended to elevate the senses and make us appreciate the true essence of beauty. Each painting is filled with life and colour, with a combination of exotic patterns, flowers and creatures denoting an otherworldly paradise that only our intellect in its most enlightened form can appreciate. The aim of the Paradise series is to refresh the feelings, sensations and thoughts of the viewers, so that we may accept with love, attention and compassion something that contains the beauty and positive energy of a place beyond our reality. With this series, Fayez confirms that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
