[ Please don’t call me an
Artist ]
She stared with a calm smile
back at me [ I don’t get who gives these titles, like when you finish medical
school you are entitled to the word: Doctor… but Artist???
who decides that we are entitled with such a
phrase.. not that I care, I just don’t like to be limited to a thing.. freedom
is more fun.
~What do you consider yourself
then? I asked her.
An inspirer.. a muse.. a force
that once you meet or encounter will change your old mind frame and make you
think.
I like pushing people into
questioning their old believes and methods.
I experiment a lot with
different types of people, what would putting them in an awkward state of emotion
& how does pushing their buttons impact them? The results are the dramatic
part.
I like seeing how people react
differently.. not only to my art works or believes.. But also to life in
general.
~ who inspires you?
Real people.. the ones that
have deep layers, like peeling something with many layers .. it’s the joy of
finding out more and more of the raw human soul.
I can sniff these people from
a distance, their presence is very much always felt on my radar.. as they say
likes attract.. I myself am very deep and complex.. seeing how love can turn a
monster into a butterfly and how pain does the exact opposite is more amusing
to me that any TV serious or movie.. Why watch fake acting when you can create
your own movie..? Choose who to cast and try different plots.. While never
knowing or even anticipating how things will turn in the end.
I’m a real life film maker I
guess.
~ , how does what you feel or experience in
these real life movies * I quote effect your Art??
I once read a line that said (what’s
bad for your heart .. is good for your Art)
I guess anyone who considers
themselves an expressive person whether a writer, composer, painter or actor
will totally agree that in order to have material you need to have an
experience..
After that the realization
that comes with the situation only makes the next one even harder & on a
higher level.
Like a video game.. Every
stage of life and experience.. Once overcome.. Automatically transforms you
into an advanced version of yourself and strips you off your past experiences
and believes.. Now you are ready for the next stage.
The more heartaches,
disappointments and pains.. The stronger you will end up and faster you get up
and continue moving.
I think the only one who can
view this game with all the levels , colors and stages of everyone is “god”.
~ do you believe in god and
how do you portrait your believes into your Art.?
I believe that god is a (center
point ) and all religions and believers are practicing (religion) from a corner
of where they stand.
I try as much as possible to
experience his pure energy and divineness through as much (corners) as
possible.
Like Rumi said I have one leg
on Islam and the other is rotating on each and every way of worship.
My believes are very clear in
my works.. for I see people in gods eyes and vice versa.. I try to show how
people see him especially through my portraits.
~when painting what is the message
you try to convey to the viewer?
Nothing.. [She laughs in
complete honesty] aren’t we all tired of using our brains to think and analyze
any and everything..
all I do is what I feel like
doing.. I might be releasing my own pains into my works… Using art in a
therapeutic method to just feel better.
I’m not one of those who claim
the deep meaning of their works.. yes they might mean something to me .. the
faces, the icons and words….. but there’s no way you can read into my thoughts,
enter my head or realize what I was thinking or manifesting into my canvas.. so
just enjoy it for what it is.
~what is the definition of beauty to you, and is it necessary to
create a beautiful Art Piece regardless of it being honest?
My works were continuously
rejected by curators and gallery owners, some even were removed off the wall
before the exhibition started because they (scared the gallery owner) she
laugh’s loudly.
Yet I would sit staring at
them for hours and put ridiculous price
tags just because I don’t want to part from them and they are the definition of
beauty to me.
“ Beauty is what resembles you
soul to yourself , if your soul feels
its familiar it will identify with it”
& that my dear is my take
on the definition of beauty Please mention that I said these words first ( laughs
) quote by Sarah Aradi .
~ A final word you would like
to share?
Life is meant to be
experienced.. And when the line on the heart pulse reader is straight.. it
probably means you’re dead.
So embrace the ups and downs
.. it only means one thing.. you are not just existing.. you are in fact “
ALIVE”.
