He has discovered the color from the language of the clay, and daily search.
His elements derived from the works of art that surrounds him. From the clothesline, anemones on the limbs, impulsive children from school gates, the sound of birds' singing, the walls and tin, it's the vocabulary of the place where he grew up. He has tried and realized that art does not mature unless an academic study to get a Bachelor's degree and then Master of Modern Arts, Graphic Design major.
He has painted and tried a lot and is still experiment in different areas of the arts and his outcomes reflect these experiences. Durgham while stripping white, he realizes the distance between the color and the surface of the painting and goes to the questions, discusses self-consciousness, and translating his knowledge elements of their depth who refuses to cover up the flatness.
So, you can see him strips faces to be carried by several possibilities, going interpret with it to what it can be capable to breathe.
To his cranky child work researcher answers questions, disregarding the logic of objects, and elements of the substantive work relations governed by the context. He tries out the refugee camp and its details of making life of imagining, reshaping and formations around him.
So that his puzzle can boggles us in finding one meaning, diversity is thimp and value to understand the meaning, catching a firebrand, composing of its ashes that granting from the soul. Seemed to indicate that the charcoal used by the tool for drawing while warming his mind on heat, and the fire is a good inspirational unexplored secret. The spaces, which are manufactured in the cold darkness to allocate spaces in the walls formed by the details and dimensions and contradictions. Where the amorphous faces and amputated limbs and integrated elements, hoarseness in their voices, wondering where you find, and wish your eyes be in the corners of his artwork.
Pain as a hoarder in the cells of color and space of the soul. Inspired by his testimony, where the pulse of this engagement.
