Cacti in a Daydream
Chafa Ghaddar

From July 1, 2021 to October 16, 2021

Galerie Tanit, hors-les-murs, Beirut

Chafa Ghaddar, She who Longed for Red, 2021, Fresco on Wood, 32 cm x 42 cm

Cobalt blue is on my mind.
This desire to paint and spend time with colour is becoming more and more voracious.
When did I need colour that much?
When did I miss feeling that ecstatic?
Painting is magical, tricky and revealing.
Painting with frescoes is even euphoric.
Frescoes are unashamed.
In cacti I bloomed.
A sweet celebration of resilience and daydreaming.
I retained my spine and my waters.
Thick skin and dissolving soul.
I kept fantasizing.
I kept growing.

In the presence of the artist

Cobalt blue is on my mind.

This desire to paint and spend time with colour is becoming more and more voracious.

When did I need colour that much?

When did I miss feeling that ecstatic?

Painting is magical, tricky and revealing.

Painting with frescoes is even euphoric.

Frescoes are unashamed.

In cacti I bloomed.
A sweet celebration of resilience and daydreaming.

I retained my spine and my waters.
Thick skin and dissolving soul.
I kept fantasizing.
I kept growing.
