Motifs in Memory

The selected artworks are part of my collection "Motifs in Memory." In this collection, I researched motifs that I used to see in my childhood, especially on doors and buildings. As an artist from the UAE, born in the 1980s, I was exposed to many geometric motifs, as the doors with motifs were popular before the emergence of the more modern villa style. In my artworks, I reintroduce these motifs in an experimental approach, creating new patterns. As I am very interested in creating patterns and playing with colors, I found the digital medium to be the best tool to use, as it gave me endless possibilities to experiment with patterns and colors. The choice of colors was more instinctive, but after completing the artworks, they appeared to me as colored kaleidoscope motifs.
