Description of the Artwork “The Queen”
found that creating a piece of art that speaks about the real life in the Middle East and contains a MESSAGE OF PEACE should be based on what is common between the 3 coexistent religions (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) . So I choose the common words between Hebrew ,Syriac and Arabic pronounced and written in almost similar way, and try to DRAW them,mixing different styles: Graffiti style, Pop Art, Iconography and the old Islamic art. And each piece contains 2 layers: 1- Abstract layer : the word itself is fragmented by lines and curves and these to express the production of various sounds of one word when said by people . As mentioned before that WORDS are DRAWN not written, making the graphic representation as important as the definition. 2- Figurative layer: which defines the meaning, through the use of pop colors and other modern way of expression .
