Bilal Hamdad (b. 1987, Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria) creates large-scale oil paintings that blur the line between photography and painting. Drawing on photographic references, he meticulously renders urban landscapes where realism and illusion intertwine. Viewed up close, his brushwork reveals a virtuosity that challenges our perception, making us question whether we are looking at a photo or a canvas. His works capture the tension between memory, image, and reality, placing him among the notable new voices in contemporary realism.
