“WE DONT NEED TO SEE DIFFERENT THINGS,BUT RATHER TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY”
Bio:
BORN IN BEIRUT IN 1976.RAISED BY A GERMAN MOTHER AND A LEBANESE FATHER I GREW UP WITH A BLENDED DUAL VIEW OF THE WORLD.
HAVING COMPLETED A DEGREE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PUBLICITY I JOINED THE WORLD OF ADVERTISING.BUT MY ARTISTIC CAREER WAS INEVITABLE,AS I HAVE BEEN DRAWING SINCE I COULD HOLD A PENCIL,AND IT HAS LED ME TO DEVELOP MY PAINTINGS.MY MOST RECENT ARTISTIC VENTURE IS THE LAUNCHING OF MY OWN BRAND OF SCARVES "CHERRY ON TOP",THAT HAS BECOME ANOTHER COLOURFUL EXPANSION OF MY CREATIVITY AND LIKE MY PAINTINGS ARE AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY.
Statement:
I TAKE INSPIRATION FROM ALL THAT I SEE,FEEL,TOUCH,SMELL AND DREAM.I USE THE CANVAS AS AN INVITATION TO ESCAPE THE COLOURS AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE .TO TRANSLATE A SOMEWHAT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HOW I VIEW THINGS ABSTRACTIVILY. MY PAINTINGS HAVE COME INTO BEING AS A TRANSLATION OF THE WHOLESOME ENVIROMENT I AM EXISTING IN, A TRANSITION FROM REALITY TO A WORLD OF UNRESTRICTED FANTASY WHERE COLOURS AND SHAPES ESCAPE THE BOUNDRIES OF REASON.PAINTING HAS ALLOWED ME TO BE TRULY FREE,TO CREATE AN IMAGINARY WORLD.THIS BECAME THE FOCUS OF ALL MY WORKS.ITS THE PERMANANT IMPRINT OF MY FADED MEMORIES .
I ENJOY TO COMBINE SYMBOLIC COMPOSITIONS, THE SIMPLIEST OF OBJECTS AND THEMES WITH THE COMPLEXITITY OF COLOUR COMBINATIONS GIVING A LIFE TO VOICELESS AND FACELESS OBJECTS AND PEOPLE...THAT SEEM TO TAKE ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN. SOMETIMES I HAVE NO INTENDED MESSAGE BUT THE THEME IS A CLEAR NARRATIVE WHICH IS OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.
I PREFER TO USE A SIMPLE VOCABULARY OF BOLD CLEAN SHAPES AND VIVID COLOURS WHICH GIVE MY WORKS A POWERFUL NEW EXPERIENCE.I AM PRESENTLY EXPLORING THIS EFFECT OF COLOUR. HOW IT EFFECTS OUR MOODS AND HOW THE BOLDNESS OF A BLACK OUTLINE INTERUPTS THE RHYTM AND BREAKS FROM ITS NEIGHBOURING COLOUR,WHILE ADDING A NEW DYNAMIC TO THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE.
