The first monograph dedicated to Moroccan painter Omar Mahfoudi offers an intimate exploration of his artistic journey, tracing his career since his 2018 collaboration with AFIKARIS to his fourth solo exhibition, Waiting for the Light to Change. 
Through a collection of essays, interviews, and visual works, this publication provides a comprehensive look at the artist’s evolving practice. From the dunes of Merzouga to the trees outside his Parisian atelier, Mahfoudi’s art captures the ephemeral beauty of landscapes, imbuing them with mysterious and melancholic characters. His compositions, often set in lush vegetation, arid deserts, or haunting shadowed realms, unfold in faded atmospheres that oscillate between lost paradises and melancholic twilights.
