Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
This self-portrait expresses introspective depth and notable technical mastery. The artist's face, turned towards the viewer, is imbued with reflection and determination. The details of the features and texture of the skin are rendered with great precision, while the shadows and lights add a realistic and captivating dimension. The color palette, dominated by warm, earthy tones, creates an intimate and thoughtful atmosphere. The pose, with the hands gripping a field easel, adds a narrative dimension and reveals a personal and perhaps passionate aspect of the artist's life. The brushstrokes, both delicate and expressive, testify to his artistic sensitivity and of his ability to capture the essence of his own face. This painting is not only a physical portrait, but also a window into Mohsine's soul, offering insight into his introspection and artistic identity.
