Ten countries. Ten paintings.
From Our Land, With Love.
A journey through the people, traditions and places that stay with us.
Every place has its own story.
For Gabrielle Malak, travel begins with curiosity about people. How a family welcomes a guest. The music that fills a courtyard. What is prepared for the table, and who teaches the next generation.
From Our Land, With Love follows those connections through ten distinct cultural settings across the Middle East and North Africa.

For Gabrielle, painting is woven into the day. His studio is part of his home; the work is always close. Encounters become memories, and memories find their way into paint.
