Hayati (My Life)
A Visual Memoir
The current collection of works on display is called ‘Hayati’, which is Arabic for ‘My Life’. It consists of my latest works created in the last year. Through every painting of the ‘Hayati’ collection, I have tried to visually depict the twists and turns of my life, thus calling it a visual memoir.
The main piece of this collection is called ‘Hayati’ itself; a sum of my life expressed on canvas. Almost all paintings of this collection are based on emotions and feelings. The rest are based on objects or incidents that have roused strong emotions. Each painting took months to complete and has layers upon layers of paint on it. Every layer imparts a certain depth and the texture adds to the feel of the painting.
This intensely coloured collection is typical of my style and can be categorized under Contemporary Abstract Expressionist style of art. Abstract Expressionist, as a style lays emphasis on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation and favours large canvasses, dramatic colors, and loose brushwork.
