Face of the City, and FROM THE HOLE OF A NEEDLE

Abstract

I am active in visual arts.My career in the arts started by self-learning and many experiences in the field of architecture and arts inside my studio and through participation in some local exhibitions My recent studies relied on research of the process of space production and spatial representation to express some societal issues, using architectural abstractions to create a dialogue between artwork and conceptual space, and to represent daily stories and events.I focus on many methods and tools in my artistic practice, such as painting, sculpture, installation arts, 3D spatial rendering, in addition to producing artistic videos.My work presents the city and outer space in general as a field of artistic work and interaction, not from a formal, aesthetic or decorative perspective, but as a specific field of questioning and criticizing our society, customs and ideas with a new proposal and vision.I seek to study the state of place with the human dimension and to interact with the constructions and materials in the environment that I work on through drawing or spatial embodiment to represent different realities, imagined places with real memories and stories, and blur the line between "truth" and realistic simulation through the use of virtual reality.
