My art practice is a conversation about transformation and landscape, pertaining both to the idea of Home and of Self. As an immigrant, my work seeks to navigate ‘The Third Space’ as experienced by diasporic populations, and negotiate what are the boundaries - what is ‘safe’?
Creating artwork is an opportunity for me to embark on an endless journey, where I explore the interplay between my chosen subject and the boundless possibilities offered by painting as a versatile medium with a rich historical background. To me, it is essential to break away from conventional techniques, allowing room for spontaneity and unforeseen events to influence the semiotic and aesthetic essence of the form, all while adhering to the fundamental principles of form and color.
With each collection, I intentionally select simple objects or images, like houses, boats, or cubic shapes, as a starting point. These objects provide a foundational path upon which I can unleash a flurry of changes, deconstructions, and reconstructions within the image. These initial images are often influenced by my experiences as a Middle Eastern diaspora immigrant.
I consistently blend the semiotic and aesthetic meanings of the form in a serendipitous manner, aiming to strike a delicate balance between subject and content. the process of creating art is as important as the final product since they both provide new insights about the image.
