Tarek Beshta
(Vienna, 1986)
Tarek Beshta, after completing his studies in Graphic Design at AKV St. Joost in ’s-Hertogenbosch, works as an independent painter in his studio in Eindhoven.
His paintings are distinguished by a swift yet contemplative approach to the medium. A significant portion of his work features faces, where realism is intentionally eschewed in favor of capturing moods and emotions. Rather than striving for a literal representation of reality, Beshta’s focus lies in conveying an atmosphere or feeling. His reliance on intuition and a confident, assured hand are central to his creative process.
