Forest Collection – In Fluorescence

I participated in the exhibition at Wadi Finan Gallery as part of a group show titled In Fluorescence, which brought together six artists and took place on June 21, 2025. This exhibition was a deeply meaningful experience for me, one that I hold close to my heart for its warm atmosphere, thoughtful organization, and the rich visual dialogue it created between the artworks, the artists, and the audience.
In this exhibition, I presented works from my Forest Collection. In my abstract approach, the forest does not represent the physical landscape we encounter while walking among trees. Rather, it reflects the psychological forest within us—a space we navigate internally, often without knowing what lies ahead.
This inner forest is a place we journey through without a clear map. It may hold adventures, stories that have been told, and others that remain untold. For some, it can be dark and heavy, while for others it unfolds as a forest filled with color, joy, and vitality. These contrasts are at the core of what I aim to express through my paintings.
In the Forest Collection, I worked primarily with a palette knife, applying small, repetitive strokes that build dense layers of texture and color. The bold and vivid palette is not merely an aesthetic choice, but a visual language that speaks of inner depth—of tension, joy, curiosity, and the quiet mystery we carry within ourselves.

This collection is among the closest to my heart, and one I continue to revisit and develop. It reflects my own transformations and offers me an ongoing space for exploration and introspection.
The exhibition was enriched by a beautiful and engaged audience whose presence added a vibrant energy to the space. Their interaction with the works played an essential role in shaping the overall experience and bringing the exhibition to life.

I extend my sincere thanks to Wadi Finan Gallery for their excellent coordination and thoughtful organization, and for creating a supportive and welcoming environment for both artists and artworks. Although the exhibition has come to an end, several works from the Forest Collection remain on view at Wadi Finan Gallery, continuing the dialogue beyond the exhibition itself.
