"SOMO" By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 90x60 cm 

Description: This abstract painting brings forth a mechanical, almost anatomical aesthetic, where organic curves and machinery-like forms intersect. The palette is earthy and industrial—featuring tones of rust brown, slate gray, faded green, deep blue, and white, evoking the feeling of aged metal, concrete, and weathered surfaces.

The composition is built around strong linear pathways and tubular shapes that resemble circuits, pipes, or even skeletal fragments—suggesting a fusion of human and machine. There's a sense of layered history, as if parts of an ancient city or forgotten technology are being unearthed and exposed.

The use of negative space and bold outlines offers a deliberate rhythm, making the painting feel like a schematic diagram—yet abstract and open to interpretation. The occasional red block shapes and textured layering hint at coded language or architectural ruins.
