The aesthetic concept of place in the works of Saudi artist Fahd Khalif

The place has an active presence that is clear in the painters achievements, as it is the vessel that embraces the artists memories and even contains his present as well. From it he derives his vocabulary, messages, and rhetoric to send and announce to the recipient through his visual texts. Our research touched on the nature of the aesthetic concept of place according to Fahd Khalifa and its reflection in Artistic achievements, and the current research may be part of the methodological framework, which is the research problem, the importance of the research, the goal of the research, the limits of the research, and then defining the terminology. As for the theoretical framework, the study dealt with two sections, the first section included a topic (Fahd Khalif and the impact of the aesthetics of the environment and place), in which the researcher touched on the role and impact of place in his work. As for the second section, dealt with (Fahd Khalif, connotations and symbols), in which they discussed the most important connotations and symbols that the artist employed in his paintings, in addition to the research procedures, which included the research community, the research sample, the research tool, the research methodology, then the analysis of the samples, and the results and conclusions reached by the researcher, including: 1. The environment had an active and clear role, as it was considered the first beginning from which he drew, as it constituted an important element in the outcomes of his artistic achievement. 2. He varied between his spaces, drawing them sometimes internally and sometimes externally, and in some of them he combined the two spaces. This contributed to the aesthetic diversity of the place and thus produced different cities specific to Fahd Khalifa alone.
