Farid Bellal

My works embody a step towards the unknown, an exploration of what goes beyond immediate frameworks of understanding. They are located on the border between the visible and the invisible, where raw material dialogues with bursts of light and traces of fleeting energies. I work the surface as a changing territory, where each texture tells a story of erosion, transformation and rebirth.

I seek to capture the suspended moment, this fragile moment when chaos is structured and order wavers. Matter becomes alive, in perpetual motion, both decomposing and rebuilding. Each composition invites the viewer to cross a threshold — the one that separates the known from the unexplored, the tangible from the intangible.

My work is a quest for balance between presence and absence, shadow and light, the ephemeral and the permanent. It questions our perception of reality and pushes us to look beyond appearances, to question what still eludes us. Each work is a passage, an opening towards an elusive elsewhere, where matter becomes a vector of emotion, a door towards an intimate and universal reflection.
