Metaphysical

Suspended in deep space, this heavenly creature, all alone, gazes down. A faint matrix behind him and sparkly constellations remind us that space is infinite, like our imagination.
I made this collage from random magazine cutouts and tried to create a rich, luscious figure that is three-dimensional and multi-faceted. It contains remnants of human lives and histories to form something entirely new.

I am a multi media artist born in Haifa, in Occupied Palestine. I paint, draw, and make abstract paper collages from hand-cut magazines. I like abstracts: geometric patterns, colour transitions and chaotic arrangements. This extends to my love for painting 'backgrounds', which have become nebula paintings. I like sparkles, kitsch, pretty scenes and figures but especially when accompanied by jarring detail. This is self reflexive romantic projection. When collaging, I love the way I can never run out of material to cut up, with lots of luscious detail and random words. This kind of cut-and-paste is always giving me new ideas. The other side of the piece of paper is often just perfect. My gallery reflects a fixation with maximalism, patterns , and colour transitions, whether in acrylic or in paper mosaic, or both.
