The figures in my work reside in a precarious state of terrifying contingency. Things are happening; will happen; have happened; things that will lacerate when spoken about and are considered taboo or too harsh to deal with let alone witness; nonetheless an aura of sublimity is cast upon the figures, enriching them with an ornate divinity achieved by simple yet meticulously calculated brush strokes. This dichotomy or battle of the opposites encompasses the human condition as a whole and exposes our universal values together with our detestable errors. Working mainly in ink on paper and oil on unprimed linen and wood, surface is an integral aspect of my compositions and holds a theoretical connotation to the subject matter. The exposed backgrounds create a void that reinforces the perilous environment inhibited by the figures. I have also explored installation work as in project Al Malwiya and large scale sliding puzzles. As I was trained in a classical manor with a focus on the Italian school of painting, my figures are semi realistically rendered symbolic representations of the modern platonic form of the feminine, an ambiguous existence on the cusp of dejection and defiance. Through an inherent childlike innocence in movement and form these figures transcend the boundaries of our dismal human condition and seek to subvert and emancipate conventional representations and habitual thought. They are in short surreal documentations of truth.
