El Ganayni's paintings often erupt into a symphony of colors, allusively
evoking human figures - often women.
Here, in superimposed layers, the "fleshy" sensual dark female body
in the imaginary foreground
contrasts with a silhouette that reminds us of sculptures by Giacometti.
Space exists in such paintings - a dreamlike space, devoid of all central
perspective. Everything that is geometric or abstract is completely absent.
But so is every temptation to turn to naturalism, to the world as we are
taught by conventions to "see" it while failing to truly see...
