A carefully chosen selection of pieces by the talented Lebanese artist and music producer Ralph Ghayad will be on display at ftNFT Phygital Space in China Town, Dubai Mall from May 29 to June 29. Popular throughout the MENA region and beyond for his distinctive portraiture, which is firmly anchored in the art of physiognomy—the fascinating study of facial features and the character traits they can reveal—Ghayad is known for his striking minimalism and profound psychological insights.
In 2018, Ghayad founded WAFFF Studios, where he skillfully combines art, music, and cultural recollections into a distinctive visual aesthetic. Since then, he has created more than 240 digital works that eloquently and poignantly depict historical and modern personalities. His minimalist, expressive, and pure approach reflects his conviction that the human face, in its most subdued moments, shows something timeless.
While he maintains his minimalist style, these latest works are infused with rich colors and a tangible presence that go beyond mere likeness, capturing something deeper—like personality, aura, and myth. His goal is to encourage viewers to look beyond the surface and connect with the true essence of each subject, weaving together time and identity in every piece.
This summer, experience Ghayad's artwork at ftNFT Phygital Space, where each portrait tells a unique story, and the minimalist style beautifully conveys deeper meanings.
