Maaloula 1969

Louay Kayyali's 1969 painting "Maaloula" showcases his signature style of muted colors and simplified forms, depicting a stacked arrangement of buildings with distinctive balconies. The work evokes a sense of architectural layers, while its muted palette and deliberate lack of detail highlight the artist's focus on structure and form, creating a timeless, almost surreal landscape. The painting showcases the artist's penchant for capturing the essence of a place with a minimal approach, reflecting his unique artistic vision.
