Fayez Barakat is an internationally recognised artist whose practice is informed by deep historical knowledge, material culture, and connoisseurship developed over decades of engagement with ancient art. Alongside a distinguished career working closely with significant private and public collections, his painting practice has come increasingly into focus in recent years. Barakat’s work draws on archaeological understanding and intuitive mark-making to create a contemporary painterly language that speaks to continuity, memory, and deep time.
