| dc.description.abstract | My artistic journey has been profoundly influenced by my travelling experiences, affecting both my inspiration and personal growth while defining my artistic identity. Living and studying in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the United States, and Canada have broadened my cultural perspective and vision. As I traverse different landscapes, I perceive myself as a molecule within the vastness of the world, intricately connected to the surrounding environment. This immersion informs my approach to landscape painting, serving as a visual record of my observations, interpretations, and imaginations. Each brushstroke reflects the dynamic energy and vibrant shifting colours encountered during my journeys, documenting personal growth and artistic evolution. Through my landscapes, I endeavor to capture both the dynamic energy of nature and the emotional resonance it evokes, conveying the transformative power of travel and the profound connection between self and surroundings. In this thesis, I will delve into the evolution of my artistic journey in landscape painting, evoking the visceral experience of the scene rather than presenting a straightforward, easily interpretable narrative. | |
