“As soon as the colour brush touches the white surface; I feel that the real and the imaginary become alike and the obscure details that compose features of life are transformed into colours.”
Believing that the environment is the physical and the spiritual inspiration of the artist - a juxtaposition of the real and the imaginary - Fairfield artist Ali Abbas Hamadi works to reconstruct and create his own story about everyday life through a sensual aesthetic vision.
Ali’s paintings express his emotional connection to his homeland and his personal experiences. He has exhibited his paintings in Baghdad, Lebanon, Cuba, Syria, Jordan and Australia.
Inspiration is drawn from the signs and symbols rich in daily life: the trace of a child’s hand on a wall in a back alley, a grab from a folklore story, an ornament decorating a window. These traces of the everyday are powerful triggers for the expressions that find their way to the canvas. MORE
