Serge Najjar: Bridging Reality and Fantasy Through Photography

Serge Najjar’s approach to photography is profoundly intuitive, drawing from his deep passion for modern and contemporary art. Influenced by Kazimir Malevich, Josef Albers, Robert Mangold, Ellsworth Kelly, and others, Najjar's art reflects the graphic legacy of the Russian Avant-garde. His photographs capture moments where time stands still and transient human presence inhabits ideal, radical constructions. These images engage in a dialogue, creating a singular space that invites viewers to inhabit the world within the frame.

Najjar’s work, whether in color or black and white, forms a coherent body that instantly emerges as a dance between flatness and depth. Traversing the city on foot, he seeks architecture, surfaces, and ordinary shapes that transform into surreal figures from unusual angles. With careful and calm precision, Najjar manipulates elements to turn shadows into geometric sculptures and three-dimensional shapes into planes. Perspectives shift, reality is reconstructed, and a new vision of the lines that surround us is born.
