Abdelgader Bader is a Libyan painter born in Benghazi. He started painting when he was a child as his family was very much concerned with plastic art. He did never study art but he learned by observing the works of other artists and of schools of art. Indeed, Abdelgader Bader continued to develop his interest until the period of the university, when he graduated in chemistry and, in the meanwhile, he joined an open studio of painting and started to paint with oil and water bright colors, using an abstract art style and especially geometric shapes – which remind him of the works by Picasso and George Braque. He uses magazine cut-outs, paper napkins, or corrugated cardboard to create the background of his work so as to create shadows and highlight the details. Through his abstract way of painting, he is able to express his vision of the world, whatever comes into his mind, and his impressions. All this is then combined with some sacred and ritual symbols like fishes with red eyes, which represent a talisman to chase away the demons.
