about me.
“Sukoon” an Arabic word, represents the state of mental calmness and harmony, a respite from chaos or busy life. It holds most important place in my life, the silent whisper of contentment that soothes the soul, the inner peace that cascades through mind and body, making me feel tranquil and relaxed, away from the hubbub of stressful life. My artwork reflects these simple yet joyous moments of life.
​
I make medium to large sized semi-abstract paintings. Through bold textures, I aim to capture the sense of motion and fluidity in my artworks. My practice involves acrylic and oil, along with mark making using pigment sticks, charcoal, or pastels. The first layer I put on canvas is using the color which allows me to connect with my emotion at that moment, building up layers using big flat brushstrokes, to reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound of the surroundings.
​
I often depict families and children reveling by the water or individuals soaking up the sun on the beach. For me, water bodies represent an intrinsic calmness and tranquility that I aim to translate onto the canvas.
