Ali Mahmoud
Architect and Artist.
Until my late twenties I was fascinated by the magic of the Middle East with its civilization, history and culture. Since then, I have been discovering the European art. I have immersed myself in the historical architecture, sculptures, paintings and art, trying to find similarities and differences between cultures.
About Art:
My inspiration comes from people, their good and bad side, their pain, their happiness, their different mental states and their feelings about the past, present and future. It comes from the deep thoughts that we have but do not say.
And because humanity is part of nature, nature has a strong presence in and a great influence on my artwork as nature interacts with people, influencing them with its elements and interacting with them .
My Goal:
Discovering more feelings related to freedom, love, anger, peace, sadness and self-acceptance, conveying these feelings to you and inciting you to think and feel about yourself is my biggest goal.
I believe that all human beings, no matter how different physically or psychologically they may be, have similar feelings and qualities. The beauty of a painting is being able to touch the feelings of people who are very different from each other. That, for me, is the best evidence for the importance of equality and the need for understanding and accepting each other.
Because I faced many difficulties in life trying to pursue art, I want to inspire other people who are unable to develop their talents because of their environment. Regardless of the circumstances I urge everybody to continue and discover themselves and their qualities, accept themselves and practice their art and love without limits.
