Antoine Makdessi, February 24, 2024

The following text by philosopher and thinker, Antoin Maqdessi (1914-2005), was written about a discussion he had with the artist Ahmad Moualla in 1995 through Maqdessi's perspective and vision of the Moalla's artistic experimentation which opened new horizons for queries and limitless solutions. The text focuses on the concept of establishing and the development which Maqdessi had observed during the artist's exhibitions at that time, and the paths that enabled him to access the realms of the artist culturally, aesthetically, and experimentally. Maqdessi, the philosopher and thinker, nicknamed as the "Archentellect of Syria," was a beacon who left an important legacy in art and culture.
