The Paradise That Is All About Logogramism
Any
good father who works hard on raising his children to become better than him
would never favor one child over another. However, for unknown reasons, most of
us do!
Likewise, artworks for artists are as precious as their own children. No matter what one could say or do, a particular artwork becomes near and dear to the artist’s heart and mind. That artwork for me is Looking for Another Paradise.
What
makes this artwork extraordinary is that anyone could notice the huge impact of
the central cross shape on the entire scene, which is like an open invitation
to explore the foundations of the Logogramism art style. It presents the famous
Mesopotamian pictograph symbol that depicts an intersection (which leads to
meeting and departing). The many other symbols located inside the cross, play a
significant role in strengthening the core of the composition. The surrounding
symbols outside the cross enrich the background with what looks like a magical
atmosphere that encloses the entire artwork. The saturated harmonic colors and
the many layers of texture create almost a sonata; the first part of any
perfect symphony, which reflects pure transcendent feelings and unadulterated expressions.
Looking for another Paradise has it all: the theme
(journey – looking for a new home of hope), the technique (layers and
materials), the chromatic colors, and the composition in one captivating
Logogramism modern artwork style.
