Fathi Ghaben (1947 – 25 February 2024) was a Palestinian painter.
Career
Ghaben was born in Hiribya in the Gaza Strip in 1947. He enrolled at Al-Azhar University in the 1960s but was unable to complete it because of financial issues. Seven of his paintings were on display at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, until the building was destroyed by a fire caused by an Israeli bombardment. One of his paintings is on display at the Ministry of Culture of Gaza. Ghaben was arrested in 1984 on charges of "inciting violence" by Israel. He was married to Faiza.[1] He held many exhibitions in Palestine and abroad, including Arab and Western countries. He was the recipient of several orders and medals, including the Medal of Sword of Canaan, which he received from Yaser Arafat. He was one of the founders of the Association of Fine Artists and Artists in Gaza. He was an honoured representative of Palestine at the Arab Plastic Artists in Cairo. He was the founder of Fathi Ghaben Center of Arts, which helped discover promising young artists in Gaza.[2] As of 2015, he resided in Nasser.[3] More recently, in July 2023, he was awarded the Annual Media Freedom Awards Appreciation Award by the Palestinian Press House.[4]
Death
Ghaben died in Gaza on 25 February 2024, at the age of 77. He had suffered from chest and lung problems and required urgent hospitalization, but was denied by Israel.[5]
