Samir Farah

Samir Farah’s work is an exploration of atmosphere, light, and presence—capturing fleeting moments across both urban and natural landscapes. He is particularly drawn to scenes that reflect the subtle traces of human presence, whether on a bustling city street or along a distant, quiet horizon. An underlying sense of optimism runs through Farah’s paintings. After a distinguished career as a senior executive in international news, he turned to painting as a way to focus not on turbulence, but on beauty, energy, and human connection. Influenced by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters, his work seeks timelessness—where color, texture, and gesture convey emotional truth beyond realism. For Farah, art is ultimately about atmosphere and presence. Each painting serves as an invitation to pause, look more closely, and rediscover the poetry in everyday life.
