Many people and old
philosophers talked about the philosophy of the circle.. Since I was a
kid and during my many travels with my parents.. Even here at home.. I
used to watch always the ground more than the sky.. Watching the dots
holes and lines on the sands and rocks and my favorite play was with the
ants!! Watching them always walking together and I used to touch them
and play with them in my hands.. It was a joy for me to see all these
small rounding houses they built in the sand..
Reading also made me always thinking and discovering and searching for
those rounding lines and shapes and of course its all clear in my
paintings some of them are circles or a rounding lines
Witch has many meanings..
Through my many travels around the world and my participations in local
and international exhibitions, and through my edification and my
continuous exploration.. My everlasting devotion was to explore all that
is new.. Especially in art in general. I started to meditate in the
forms all around me in addition to my numerous philosophical readings,
what always caught my eye was the circle.. Even the complex of this
world and we as human beings.. We all go round and round in a fast
motion as if we want to eat each other or to reach something.. i wonder
what it is !!
my lines were always distorted, never straight.. I dug deeper into my
thoughts and soul to find all that is around me takes a circular shape,
and there is nothing straight about our existence.. I draw the whole
universe on canvas varying from human interactions to daily dilemmas and
conflicts that formulate our lives..And I examine what I see before me..
the beginning of our creation was a spot .. and all our lives are
actually circular routs that revolve and drive us to thinking that we
will actually find something.. but the truth is that what we will find
is nothingness, because we start from that spot and come back in a
rounding way to were we started ( the ground)..
as an Arab Jordanian artist, when I am in my studio stroking my brush
with all those magnificent colors tend to forget all differences, places
borders and dimensions.. I belong to my studio and my work is art.. it
has no boundaries and I am trying not to follow any particular school..
I depict my inner self, my thoughts and my convictions.. of course I am
influenced a lot by all that goes on around me just like any other human
being in my society.. I do wish to change many things around me and hope
for a different happier world. I do have a conviction though (an artist
can bring a lot of change if he or she were vigilant and had faith and
truthfulness in carrying their massage and philosophy into their art and
hence forth to the viewers..
