Description
“Fragments of a City” (2025) by Mohab Elghaffar is a layered abstract composition that blends architectural references, symbolic imagery, and expressive color fields. Created with acrylic on canvas, the painting brings together multiple visual elements that resemble fragments of urban structures, cultural symbols, and memories.
Through overlapping forms, textured surfaces, and vibrant contrasts, the artwork evokes the feeling of exploring a city through scattered impressions rather than direct representation. Architectural silhouettes, abstract patterns, and symbolic figures appear within the composition, suggesting hidden narratives and layered histories.
Elghaffar’s approach merges abstraction with storytelling, creating a visual landscape where the boundaries between architecture, memory, and imagination dissolve. The painting invites viewers to navigate the artwork as a collage of experiences, reflecting the complexity and rhythm of contemporary urban life
