تستلهم أسماء باهميم أعمالها الÙنيّة من المنمنمات الإسلامية، وقد كانت الÙنانة ØØ±ÙŠØµØ©Ø¹Ù„Ù‰ استكشا٠المواضيع Ø§Ù„ØØ§Ù„ية للعالم المعاصر من خلال تخيلها لمضمونه وشكله. وتسعى الÙنانة إلى Ø¥ØÙŠØ§Ø¡ ÙÙ† المنمنمات، والØÙاظ على جاذبيته التقنية والجمالية. والشخصيات المصورة والمشاهد المعقدة المتعددة الطبقات ÙÙŠ Ù„ÙˆØØ§ØªÙ‡Ø§ لا تثير Ùقط تساؤلات ØÙˆÙ„ Ø§Ù„Ù…ÙØ§Ù‡ÙŠÙ… Ø§Ù„Ù…ÙØ¹Ø¨Ù‘ر عنها، بل ØªØ·Ø±Ø Ø£Ø³Ø¦Ù„Ø© عن طبيعة الÙÙ† وتصوّر Ùهمها السابق وممارستها.
Inspired by Islamic miniatures, the artist was keen to explore current themes of today’s world byway of reimagining its content and form. The artist endeavors to revive the art of miniature paintings, preserving its technique and aesthetical allure. The depicted figures and multi-layered complex scenes not only raise questions on the notions expressed, but about the nature of art and the perception of its former understanding and practice.

Lines and color are prominent elements in Dr. Abdelmohsen’s paintings. His use of color and lines to depict forms and figures re-emphasize familiar mental images of cultural, natural and religious landscapes. The subtlety of the underlying issues addressed is intentional, as his aim is not to confront, but to realize a myriad of visual and conceptual interpretations.
المØÙ„يّة ليست Ùكرة مبسطة، ÙØ¨Ù†Ø§Ø¡ الهوية هو تدÙÙ‚ معقد... ونظراً لسهولة Ø§Ù„ØØµÙˆÙ„ على المعلومات، بات من الصعب ÙÙŠ هذه الأيام ÙˆÙÙŠ هذا العصر Ø§Ù„ÙØµÙ„ ما بين Ø§Ù„ÙØ±Ø¯ المØÙ„يّ وما بين المواطن العالمي الذي بات شاهداً على تقلبات العالم من ØÙˆÙ„Ù‡.
Locality is not a simplistic idea, the construction of identity is a complex influx. Due to the accessibility of information, it is getting harder at this day and age to separate one’s locality from one’s being a global citizen, witnessing the ups and downs of the world.

Color is an ancient and active philosophical element that is heavily explored in Hussein’s artistic practice. The use of color is the artist’s attempt to unearth truths buried within the viewer. His works are intended to deliver a message, one in which he strives to affect raw and uninhibited physiological and emotional responses. For the artist, his works are visual journeys that facilitate a type of “open” dialogue: a conversation that can only be realized when we are stimulated to communicate freely in our purest forms.
ÙŠØØ§ÙˆÙ„ ماجد الثبيتي تسليط الضوء على العبارات المكتوبة والمنطوقة باللغة العربية من خلال وسائل الاتصال Ø§Ù„ØØ¯ÙŠØ«Ø©ØŒ Ùمثلاً "ههه" هي اسم الصوت الذي ÙŠÙØ®Ø±Ø¬Ù‡ الإنسان عند الضØÙƒØŒ وهو –هذا Ø§Ù„ØØ±Ù- يتكرر ÙÙŠ جميع جزئيات الكلمة، بداية ووسطا ونهاية...وهو من خلال عمله هذا ÙŠØ·Ø±Ø ØªØ³Ø§Ø¤Ù„Ø§ عن مدى ضرورة ÙˆÙØ¹Ø§Ù„ية هذه الكلمات ÙÙŠ التعبير عن تعقيدات عالمنا المعاصر.
The work of Majed explores the shape and function of a written phrase used in today’s contemporary Arabic language. Introduced by modern means of communication, the word is the phonetic sound one makes when laughing. The Arabic letter “ha” is repeated throughout the word, and as such, its form changes depending on its position in the beginning, middle and end of the word. His work attempts to both shed light on the induction of written and spoken phrases into the language, and to question the necessity and effectiveness of these words in expressing the complexities of our contemporary world.

Nada’s work attempts to embody the collective memories of a utopian world, fragmented and juxtaposed with the truths of her reality. The works realize the loss of innocence, and the pursuit of happiness; reflecting the dreams of many for a better life.

Ola Hejazi is a painter whose lifespan has been interrupted by frequent abrupt relocation, and constant travel. At times, she was forced to leave behind personal items that hold sentimental value, and embody memories of her upbringing. In an attempt to reconstruct these moments, Ola attempts to document the objects and moments in the present that trigger these fleeting memories of the past. The assemblage of fragmented memories is realized by depicting the instant in which an object is able to transport her to a lost time in her past.
Ù„ÙˆØØ§Øª سلطان بن Ùهد الكبيرة غالباً ما تغطيها طبقات سميكة من الطلاء، يتخللها خطوط جريئة من الألوان. وهو يعتمد هذا المقاس من Ø§Ù„Ù„ÙˆØØ§Øª Ù„ÙŠÙØ±Ø¶ وجودها على المشاهد، ليثير ردود ÙØ¹Ù„ عاطÙية، وليØÙ‚يق Ù„ØØ¸Ø© من Ø§Ù„Ø£Ù„ÙØ© والتناغم.

Sultan bin Fahad’s large paintings are often covered completely with thick strokes of paint, interrupted with bold lines of color. Its scale is meant to impose its presence on the viewer, provoking an emotional response, and realizing a moment of intimacy and vulnerability. His works attempt to shed light on our emotional state, and pose as reminders of our natural human instincts.

Dreams And Memories
“Yesterday Is But Today’s Memory. Tomorrow Is Today’s Dream”
KahalilGibran
Our dreams and memories call upon each other; they rely on our experiences in the lives we’ve led. Today, we embark upon the visual narrative of artists as they explore their dream.
