About the Item
"Mysterious but true" Mixed media painting by Hossam Dirar
2019
Acrylic on canvas
39.5" × 31.5" inch
In this series of paintings I depicted the inner emotions of women, their dreams, their love for life.
"I imagine women dreaming about achieving their dreams, expressing themselves, dancing joyfully alone and smiling at life with the freedom, that their are missing in their real lives.
I painted emotions with an abstract style, sometimes I feel women are abstract as well, because for me their a mysterious creature.
Those great women are subtle, they are appear bit by bit from the colors."
