Works by Serge Hamad
Serge Hamad is a French-Algerian visual artist based in New York, renowned for his fine art photography and innovative use of light. His work blends the real and abstract, particularly in his Temporal Perception series, where he transforms natural landscapes with digital enhancements. Hamad’s photography captures the serenity of the sea, often evoking introspection and dialogue. His background in conflict zone photography informs his nuanced approach to storytelling, while his later work reflects a more meditative, nature-driven focus. With his art, Hamad invites viewers to engage with both the beauty of the world and its deeper, more reflective meanings.
He is a self-taught artist, having honed his skills through years of hands-on experience rather than formal education in the arts. His early career as a photographer and videographer covering conflict zones and sociopolitical issues laid the foundation for his creative practice, which he later expanded into fine art photography. This self-directed learning and real-world experience continue to inform his approach to both documentary and abstract photography.
Serge’s technique is defined by his unique blending of photography and digital rendering. He often begins with natural landscapes, capturing vivid moments of light and color, before transforming them through digital enhancements. In his Temporal Perception series, Hamad extends and distorts natural lines to create dynamic, abstract compositions across multiple panels. His process is deeply intuitive, focusing on the interplay between the real and the imagined, and encouraging viewers to reflect on their own perception of the world. Whether depicting serene seascapes or abstract forms, Hamad’s work invites contemplation and engages with the viewer’s sense of memory and time.
