Born in Sidon, Lebanon, Omar El Lahib studied Fine Art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf before settling in Cologne with his family. His paintings navigate the realm between figuration and abstraction. These ethereal landscapes stem from simple sketches or previous unresolved artworks.

El Lahib challenges the common misconception about darkness, asserting that it reveals rather than conceals. In his nocturnal scenes, vibrant trees, textured foliage, and luminous bioluminescence envelop his figures, which exude contemplation and resilience.
