"Hold on to the Moment" Figurative Painting 24" x 24" inch by Tasneem El-Meshad

2024

Academy of Fine Arts Cairo graduate Tasneem El Meshad describes her art, as “a reflection of the chaotic world, and the dilemma of modern life, which revolves around juggling responsibility while trying to connect with the inner beauty of the universe.” Drawn to warm, strong, clear and compatible colors, reflecting her spontaneous character, Tasneem’s composition and the balance she creates amongst her works is exceptional. Her compositional style is a trademark refreshed interpretation of minimalist cubism, using this she partitions the canvas in a highly detailed and sensitive fashion that is as compatible as it is experimental and daring, attributing her works an almost 3D-level of depth. What sets her style apart is an innovative ability to communicate raw emotion using typical and otherwise mundane angular shapes, which she manipulates in ways reminiscent of some of the greats of the early 20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture.
