 Rizk captures moments in his paintings: a moment that could have come and gone. He takes these moments and makes them timeless, which leads to his work exuding a poetic and spiritual tone. His style and sense of colour can be compared to Picasso and Matisse, two artists he studied and admired his entire life. With all the conflicts in the world, Rizk’s way of finding Peace is through his art.
