Tunisian born artist Habib Ayat has a BA in Art, Literature and Human
Sciences
from the University of Sousa.
Habib has drawn much inspiration from his Mediterranean roots, from the
bright
blues of the rooftops to the whitewashed walls of homes and the lush
green
leaves of the olive trees, Habib was moved by the vibrancy of the
colors that
filled his world. He grew up on a farm in the countryside but dreamed
of the
day he would also be a force in the art world. As a young man, Habib
had a
passion for art and a desire to create a new world order through his
use of
intense color and contemporary impressionistic techniques. He began
working in
acrylics and mixed media, and eventually became most passionate about
using
color and form as the true subject and the primary vehicle of
expressing
emotion through his paintings.
When Habib arrived in New York in the summer of 1999, he was drawn to
the Art
Student League. Since the 1800's the League has been known as a
Manhattan
based mecca for artists, and Habib began to walk the same hallways as
Mark
Rothko and Jackson Pollack did before him. The influences of his
professors at
the Art Student League led to experimentation with color and collage
techniques
as Habib's work became more sophisticated in its use of color and
texture.
Habib lives in the New York Metropolitan Area in Jersey City, New
Jersey which
is a hotbed of emerging art activity. Jersey City is steps away from
Manhattan
art neighborhoods like SoHo, Tribeca and Chelsea. The Jersey City Arts
community has been very supportive by showcasing his work in numerous
group and
solo exhibitions over the years. Habib has established a collector
base both
in the U.S. and internationally, including collectors in the U.S.,
France,
Italy, Germany, New Zealand, and Australia.
