Crystallized Déjà Vu
In the realms of paper voids, spontaneous strokes burst, breathing warmth into the cool stillness. The dance of memory and perception captures moments both fleeting and eternal without explicitly outlining their confines.
Colors blend and lines intersect, a whisper of replayed time and reborn moments.
Dialogues, not confined by the boundaries of each artwork, resonate through the spaces between, weaving a continuous narrative that envelops the viewer. The gallery becomes a space where the rhythms of nature and personal histories intertwine, reflecting the intricate connection between the natural world and its profound imprint on our psyche.
Shadows and light play across surfaces, redrawing familiar realities and tempting a deeper exploration of what lies beneath. A shared journey of discovery and reflection begins. It is a mosaic of artistic expression that beckons one to pause, peer closer, and perhaps see—not just with the eyes but with the soul—the profound stories whispered by the medium itself.
Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in humanities and social sciences at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. I earned a master’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University, Egypt, in 2016.
Since 2015, I have actively participated in workshops and group exhibitions across Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, London, and Germany. My first solo exhibition, “Tiamat” (named after the goddess of the ocean in the Sumerian epic of creation, Enûma Elish), was hosted at The Austrian Culture Forum in Cairo, Egypt, in 2016. The artworks drew inspiration from the mural paintings of the ancient Syrian kingdom of Mari and the royal palace of Til Basip.
My second solo exhibition took place at the National Center for Visual Arts in Damascus, Syria, in 2020. It featured scenes of the Kalamoon mountains, capturing the landscape between Damascus and my hometown, Al Nabk.
In 2023, my third solo exhibition was held at the Miraite Gallery in Harajuku, Japan, under the title “Linea Naturae: 自然の優美をたどる” (Tracing Nature’s Grace). This exhibition focused on representing nature through a fusion of lines and colors, employing simple materials.
