“ My “Fragrance of Brick” exhibition explores the blend of tangible and intangible aspects within our community. Using my brush and the magic of color, I delve into themes of childhood identity and memories aging with grace. Each artwork reflects my personal journey and soulful introspection.
Inspired by life’s authenticity, I evoke a folkloric essence that dances with memories, aiming for clarity and serenity amid unnecessary conflict and suffering.
Every piece combines form and concept, with my unique use of color palettes energizing the composition. I traverse luminous fields of light and color, akin to navigating a mountain range.
My artistic journey is driven by a desire to unravel life’s complexities, paralleling the efforts of peasants who seek to preserve their heritage and identity by freeing themselves from affectation and inauthenticity. I seek to create art that captivates visually and invites reflection, fostering a deep connection to our universal Lebanese identity. Through my art, I seek to spark imagination, provoke thought, and encourage contemplation of the beauty and mysteries of our world. “
