    Description

    The dream city
    Acrylic, golden flakes and Arabic gum on canvas
    80 x 116 cm.
    In 2000 I left my homeland Iraq and the city of Baghdad and have lived in Berlin ever since. Before I left, I was very active culturally. Between 1980 and the end of the century, I participated in many joint exhibitions, held four solo exhibitions, and wrote and published many articles on literature and art in the newspapers. Baghdad was the Mecca of cultural events. In the cafes, in the writers' union and also in the galleries, the intellectuals gathered and discussed recent activities.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    The tree of letters
    Inks, watercolour, and golden tissues on paper
    28x35 cm.
    The main part of this painting is a treetop-like mass consisting of overlapping writings from many texts by love poets. It is written using a specific Arabic font called ALDIWANI which is flexible and offers a lot of freedom.
    The lower part of the composition shows the main trunk that holds the treetop. It's a piece of collage that I used gold tissues. parallel to this central trunk there are another two right and left to it. There are also three-square forms that contain the calligraphy of a different type of font.
    The entire composition showed a balance between masses and spaces. The musical harmony was largely seen as a prerequisite for the creation of this piece.
