Cities

By (author) Jamil Molaeb
This book brings together a series of paintings created by Jamil Molaeb during his travels across Lebanon, the United States, India, China, Europe, and the Arab world. Deeply devoted to painting from life, Molaeb approaches each city as a living presence —capturing its light, rhythm, and inner pulse through works executed directly on site. These paintings transcend the notion of landscape; they are imprints of lived experience. In them, observation dissolves into memory, and painting becomes an act of presence —an intimate dialogue between the artist and the world he inhabits.
