21st Century Unique Painting Dilapidation by Elias Saifan

About the Item

Usually we describe falling apart buildings as “dilapidated structures” so the title of the piece and the series “Dilapidation” was derived from this idea to depict architectural shapes that are supporting each other to keep standing, even though the process is constructive. Each blob of paint is laid from the top to bottom in a linear fashion, vertically and horizontally with a palate knife and I’m building the given urban scape/city scape as a grid. The work has become very mechanical but not devoid of surprises and always full of endless novel discoveries, Elias has been creating and sculpting this style for 21 years and is now in in many private collector homes. With his years long dedication within meditative inspiration, it’s not uncommon to find artist Elias Saifan respectfully silent in calm Padmasana channeling energetic influence. Whether mixing pigments creating exquisitely unique colors to perfection, or with brush in hand, Elias is moved by his humble monk-like journey which immersed him deeply in the heart of diverse cultural convergence in numerous countries around the world. Always observing yet participating, learning and being a curious pupil of a richly textured multicultural world brimming with both subtle and bold nuances. Elias’s art is often his mantra, paying homage to meditation bridging both physical and non-physical dimensions providing us with a transcendental vision of what our world could possibly be. Within his creative translation taking form upon carefully stretched canvases of varying sizes Elias exhibits and sells his works around the world in addition to accepting commission pieces. Elias is an active force in the ‘Artist-in-Residence‘ movement unifying accomplished renown, multi-faceted artists to cultivate and mentor new talent toward achieving their creative expression. Eli resides in both Little Falls, NY and Beirut, Lebanon. His studio gallery is housed within a Historic stone building on the Erie Canal.
