Tapping into the potential of Arabic as an art form is limitless when East meets West. The words are created in abstract compositions linking traditional with contemporary. There is a great freedom and sense of adventure in the courtship of the Arabic script. Arabic text is not only an identifying symbol; it has been actively used across the Middle East to communicate, teach and has evolved as one of the most beautiful scripts in the world. This is why the Arabic language is such a powerful concept in our modern day understanding of art in the Middle East.
This collection celebrates the romance of the Arabic language. Words have an energy force that influences our daily life. Their impact can reshape history negatively or positively. A hateful word has an ugly vibration, imprinting a permanently painful scar. A pleasing word has the reverse effect. Its inspiring spirit can resonate within us for years. The sixteen paintings in this collection celebrate the beauty of the positive verse. Through the use of color, movement and text it illustrates a powerful representation of each word, visually expressing the great heritage and artistic traditions of this script.
I invite you to observe my paintings with their floral spirits, vibrant colors, mysterious feminine lines, and contemplative moods. It is my hope that you will experience the world I envision through the fusion of paint and introspection.
