L’espace d’un Instant

The aesthetic trigger  
Fady Ferhi, painter, was born in 1962. She spends a good part of her life in Corrèze in Brive la Gaillarde and settles in the Paris region in 2004.  
2007 is a year of upheaval. Following a brutal and irreversible emotional shock, creation imposes itself to her. Painting is now the way to escape, to free herself and to let her emotions flow on the canvas. 

The path to knowledge  
Fady learns the basics of painting at the workshop "Croqueurs de vie" in Charenton le Pont directed by Isabelle Forestier, a painter from the workshops of the fine arts of Paris. During these four years of training, she learns to define shapes, to master and link lines in space, to play with textures, impastos that allow depth. She also retained from this teaching a primordial notion which will guide her throughout her career: the introduction of each new color and the variety of possible tones plays an essential role in the perception of the work. 
In order to perfect her knowledge, in 2018 she took courses in art history and civilizations at the École du Louvre. This curriculum fulfills her curiosity to learn the chronological references of art history and to understand modern and contemporary influences. Fady now knows that his work is situated in abstract art and belongs more specifically to lyrical abstraction. 

Exploring abstraction and color 
Fady's works are characterized by a mixed technique. Acrylic paint, prism, Moon, stained glass, resin on canvas and wood are worked with brushes, knives, spatulas, sponge and cellophane. 
Abstract painting is for her an essential means of sharing and communication. A vital need for reconstruction, for light, for reconciliation with life. Fady particularly admires the works of Chu The Chun, Zaō Wou-Ki or Jackson Pollock. 
The colors resonate within her and infuse her with cheerfulness, energy, balance, harmony, serenity and sometimes sadness. According to her, a perfectly finished work is a work with a soul, a spiritual depth, a world where dreams and intuitions come together to invite the viewer to give free rein to his feelings. 

In metamorphosis  
Fady Ferhi is an accomplished colorist. Created in depth and movement, his work is a journey towards Eternity. 
Beyond time, between stasis and disappearance, the narrative logic of each of his paintings remains in suspense like an enigmatic crossing that everyone is free to explore. 
His moving and vivid work creates an embodied atmospheric dimension that transports to unexplored territories. It is an invitation to discover the possible, to revisit a new dimension, between the known and the dreamed, where reality is multiple, in metamorphosis, suspended in a potential balance.
