Fisherman in Arwad 1976

"Fisherman in Arwad" is a painting by Syrian artist Louay Kayyali, created in 1976. The painting depicts a fisherman seated on a golden beach, his back to the sea, repairing his fishing line. The scene is dominated by the figure of the fisherman, whose contemplative expression conveys a sense of quiet solitude. Kayyali, known for his vibrant palette, uses earthy tones to depict the setting, and the two boats in the background add a subtle touch of the fisherman's trade. Kayyali's works often focused on the lives of ordinary people and their connection to the natural world. This painting, "Fisherman in Arwad", is a poignant example of this focus.
