Artist Statement
In “Words and Patterns” I explore the influential nature of Arabic and Persian calligraphy, two esteemed art forms deeply ingrained in the Middle East’s cultural and historical tapestry. In my work, calligraphy and patterns undergo a captivating transformation, inviting viewers to decipher the hidden stories within each stroke and pattern. Patterns serve as a captivating contrast to calligraphy, effortlessly connecting age-old traditions with contemporary interpretations.
As I delve into the fusion of calligraphy and patterns, I aim to capture the essence of an emerging abstract art movement within Middle Eastern art, known as the ‘Identifiable Abstract Art Movement.’ Each piece in this collection is a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend time and place, bridge cultures, and awaken the senses. Through this collection, you will find aesthetic delight and a deeper connection to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle East.
