Amar Ben Belgacem
My designs are a way of giving off a positive feeling to the world.
Our planet needs tenderness, and that’s what I offer through my
paintings with my soft lines and gentle colours.
A painting by me is such a concentration of energy that it gives
strength to the person looking at it.
My paintings sparkle with life, communicating the happiness within me
that I owe, partly, to the beauty that surrounds me and to my
wonderful life.
What I paint comes from the very depths of me. In some ways, it's a
photo of me on the inside.
Emotions and impressions from the bottom of my soul are put onto
paper with appropriate colours, thus conveying to onlookers my
feelings at the time of creating.
I paint what I can't see in our world, although my inspiration comes
from my surroundings. Peace reigns in my compositions.
Freedom plays an important role in everything I do and I'm convinced
that without freedom, I wouldn't be an artist.
When I realised that the road to excellence didn't pass through the
school gates, I left college to throw myself into life.
Through my work, I endeavour to purify lines so they are more
pleasing to look at. The idea of achieving a final dignified and
outstanding piece of art is an obsession. My mind is filled with
thoughts of shapes.
I live and breathe my love for colours. Peaceful shapes form the
biggest part of the painting, which I intend to be bright, like a
dream, or a summer evening. I want the image to traverse time and
become the stuff of legend.
