Facade (yellow-orange) radiates with the warmth of late afternoon sun, where vertical bands of amber, coral, and gold pulse across the canvas like light filtered through ancient shutters. Ghuloum builds her surface through delicate layering, each translucent veil of color overlapping the next, creating a luminous membrane that seems to breathe.
The title suggests architecture, but this is a facade that reveals rather than conceals: beneath the warm chromatic rhythm, glimpses of turquoise and rose emerge like secrets kept close. This is painting as light made tangible, where color becomes warmth, and surface becomes an intimate portal. Ghuloum captures not the structure itself but the feeling of standing before it, bathed in golden hour glow, suspended in pure chromatic joy.
