Qais Al-Sindy Artist Statement

My artworks involve critical and ironic views of social, political and cultural issues, in which I attempt to convey a message that deconstructs details from our daily life and old memories that I got from my whole life and then synthesize them to get new shapes, thoughts and ideas. Such an attempt is colored by my personal experiences as a dreamer artist for better life, healthier cities and best atmosphere to live in. My artworks tell stories to constitute a major anchor in the history of peoples and archiving infinite capriciousness. As an expressionist artist, I rely on my theme of my paintings on stories, tales and poems. I confront essential conditions of the human experience and struggle, namely the realities and rituals surrounding desire, fear and hope. The figures in my paintings dance in woe, or relax in meditation…The images in my art speak of humanity yearning for stability and safety. And finally, the conceptions depicted on my canvases are inspired by deliberations of the controversial issues facing our planet, our mother Earth. Qais Al-Sindy
