Desert moments



 

 

Artist Statement of Art Hub Liwa


First came camels from behind the dune. Like silent ghosts, they walked freely beside the road. We were in the main road but in the desert. In the car Mr. Ahmed played rhythmic Arabic music which mesmerizing melody echoes still in my head even though it is already a years ago.
I spent one of the most memorable night of my life in the Empty Quarter, Liwa. Coffee break in the darkness of the night in the desert, where the sand storm arose. The experience was unforgettable. Sand Storm was like a hot response in my home country´s snow storm. It felt safe. I wrapped myself in clothes, and I felt I was in the middle of the universe.
Later in the night in Liwa Art Hub sand storm hit tee shots of places, the experience was exotic and unique. In the morning, Mr. Ahmed drove us to an unforgettable breakfast in the desert, in the middle of nowhere. Sunrise in the sand horizon, the desert silence, the sand in bare soles of the feet.  Here was the presence of universal silence and space.
Visit in Liwa influenced my art. It affected me. Silence. Space. Camels. Nature. Originality and persistence. As Mr. Ahmed said, Liwa desert represent continuity and stability. Gone up ground cities are fine but still only human created, artificial environments.
A purifying and inspiring experience. Thank you!

THE ART PAINTINGS with poems






ALL LIVING MEMORIES
THE MOMENT THAT YOU DO NOT REMEMBER.
AND THE SILENT VOICE THAT YOU DO NOT HEAR.
WHISPERING VOICE.
SOUNDLESS INVITATION.
LIKE THE SHADOW IN THE SKY.
THE MOMENT OF NOW.
IT IS YOUR TIME.
TOGETHER.

NOWHERE AND HERE
THE DEEPNES OF EVERYTHING.
ALL AROUND.
IN THE DESERT.
IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
IN YOU.
