Noahs Arch – Adib Fattal

The drawing “Noah's Arch” by Adib Fattal is a work filled with color and minute details. This 35 x 52 cm composition, made with acid-free markers, represents an imaginary Noah's ark where natural elements and scenes of life coexist harmoniously.

The color palette is cheerful and saturated, with predominantly red, blue, green, and orange tones. A central rainbow catches the eye and likely symbolizes hope and peace, while multi-colored rain falls from the sky. The clouds, drawn in a stylized manner with repeating patterns, add a dynamic and almost childish effect to the sky, dominated by a large red sun, surrounded by arrows and abstract patterns.

The drawing is full of details in every corner: we see stylized trees, plants, and a multitude of small human and animal shapes, creating the effect of a village or community living in symbiosis with nature. The elements are organized in horizontal layers reminiscent of agricultural terraces or ancient mosaics. This layered style of composition reinforces the idea of ​​an orderly community structure, where every element has its place and harmony reigns.

Adib Fattal's style, influenced by primitive art and the imagination, evokes a world in which human beings and nature coexist in peace. His art, often compared to Persian miniatures or Palestinian embroideries, combines elements from diverse cultures in a fusion of patterns and shapes. The acid-free felt-tip technique gives his work a crisp, vibrant texture, allowing every detail to be captured precisely and the vibrancy of the colors to be intensified.
