ILham Badreddine Mahfouz

I am a Syrian American Artist; working in Painting, abstract style, to have an engaging dialogue between the painting and the viewer.  Leave a mystery, searching for clues in the painting through colors and lines that allow the viewer to interpreting it from his own subconscious views. Not so literal needs a little concentration to take in the energy and the emotion of the painting.  A color is a reflection of life, happy colors, sad colors etc.…. stating emotions feelings reflecting of human conditions, war … peace … tragedy …. Hope….   success … spirituality …. Harmony … love … hate …anger …a journey of life in composition , colors , brush strokes , I explored and charted on a space that convey my subliminal human emotions that transcended it , reaching to the viewer ,to let the viewer interpret his or her own views ,through  subconscious dialogue  in colors. Addressing contrasts in relationship to colors, lines, textures spontaneity with thought out plans to achieve harmony in the final destiny of the painting.
