About the Art Retreat
From 7 to 12 September, seven artists represented by Turquoise
Gallery gathered in the Périgord region of southwestern France for an immersive art retreat. Along the banks of the Dordogne River, they practiced open-air painting as a form of visual development, guided by artist and gallery owner Abeer El’Khateb.
The retreat’s intention was twofold: to respond to the region’s fertile valleys, forested hills, and storied castles, and to challenge the artists to deepen their technique while connecting with a landscape of remarkable beauty.
Among the many scenes explored, the village of Rocamadour became a central subject. Rising vertically above the Alzou canyon, its sanctuaries and chapels are built directly into the cliff face, crowned by a fortress at the summit.
This dramatic vista invited the group to experiment with composition, light, and atmosphere, while workshops with Abeer provided structure and inspiration.
The paintings presented here are the outcome of that shared
experience: a dialogue between place, practice, and perspective, where each artist translated the Dordogne’s timeless scenery into their own creative language.
