"FRAGMENTS OF MEMORY" – By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 100x100 cm 

Description: This abstract painting conjures a dreamlike tapestry of layered forms, where grays and whites swirl with jolts of crimson, ochre, mustard, and chartreuse. The composition resembles eroded walls, forgotten relics, or archaeological layers—as if time itself has been compressed onto the canvas.

Textural brushstrokes and geometric interjections evoke the sensation of fragments colliding, suggesting memories partially lost or reassembled. The roughness of the strokes and scraped areas provides a tactile sense of decay and reconstruction, while the color accents offer moments of warmth and recognition.

There’s a quiet rhythm beneath the chaos, a hidden narrative of something once whole now broken, reimagined, and abstracted. Whether seen as an emotional map, a city in ruins, or a collection of thoughts, the piece invites contemplation of what remains when structure dissolves.
