In Thabet’s work, reality and fantasy intertwine through an intuitive and
improvisational gaze, where the mundane and the fantastical merge in
seamless dialogue. Drawing from photographs, memory, and imagination, his
compositions elude convention. His vocabulary of pigment and form allows for
an expression of considerable freedom and fecundity—one that resists settled
conventions of pictorial structuring while maintaining a fidelity to the rhythm of
nature: its rising and cowering, its stillness and its flow.

This is a way of seeing that is both deliberate and deeply felt. By absorbing
and reconfiguring the landscapes around him—whether urban, leafy, or
maritime—Thabet frees them from standardized vision, transforming them into
expressive terrains. His painterly language of colour, texture, and form
reanimates the familiar, inviting us into a space where the ephemeral becomes
enduring, and the intangible, vividly felt.
