For Omar Koubãa, painting is a journey, both visually and mentally. In a light trance, he creates images on the canvas that evoke landscapes, but never reveal a concrete location. Each time you think you recognize a horizon, house, or tree, the composition dissolves into paint once again. As a result, the viewer’s eye continues to wander across the canvas, searching for points of entry. The refined balance between shapes and color combinations pulls and pushes you endlessly forward.
