Welcome
Landscape Oil Painting by my Grandfather H Malek © All Rights Reserved
Thank you for visiting this site, which is dedicated to my Grandfather, who peacefully left this material world in 2009. He was in his 90s, and although almost legally blind towards the end, he managed to produce some of his finest oil paintings. He was a true artist. He studied Art and Photography in Rome when he was younger. He painted countless number of paintings throughout his life.

He specialized in oil paintings, mostly in landscape oil painting (often imagined), but also in still life painting, mostly of objects around the home (although he also enjoyed pencil sketching). He has painted many canvas oil paintings, but he was so generous that he gave away most of them. Every time someone gave him a compliment about an original oil painting of his, he would offer it to that person. For this reason, he never had enough paintings with him at any one time to hold an art exhibition. I hope all the lucky people out there who were gifted one of his paintings will treasure them as I do with the ones he gave me.

My appreciation for fine art, especially oil paintings is because of him. He will always be a part of us through his paintings and our many memorable discussions about art. I hope you find some inspiration and useful information in this site. Enjoy!
