Imperfections are constantly devalued, when usually within all those imperfections lies our unique, genuine, truest selves — I love tracing imperfections, it accentuates the beauty in flaws, in a way lets one re-consider their perception, but maybe thats just me ☺️ #fridaythoughts #haveabeautifulweekend #DiYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvljtb-hn1m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vpvg3gpmu8ol

Something with dripping brings me so much #satisfaction, I let #paintdrip subtly on my #canvas in a spontaneous flow, not only that I enjoy it, I love how I let it ✨ It takes #talent to know exactly where you wanna let paint stain the canvas , #faith to know when to tilt it, tons of #courage to know exactly when to straighten all edges, and enough #knowledge to know when to stop #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJH61_BOvu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h1177zk0kuus

Every single shade speaks a different word, at a time my words ceased to have meaning, for 24 hours; I was vigorously silenced, once a late night, an uncalled for incident, midst my strokes I caught, a mild awaited hope, midst the strokes I see, a definitive shade, healing me, the one light, that has been guiding me, vaguely yet surely... so For tonight, i’ll smile, and let this smile re-write my disturbing memory, in the one way I would like, in a vivid reality. #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/doaa.a.yousef/p/Bs_eIz6hFvx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19719s24ybp6i

Flames of fire ignite her soul, warmth is her solid identity. Once upon a time, she had hoped, her heat might thaw that frozen core, subsided reality and the fact that its a ghost. Ice cold. She gave and gave, abundantly, chose not to see. The more warmth she provided, the colder she became, she almost lost her sanity. Couldn’t grasp why the more flames she spattered, the more heat was acquired, reluctantly. That cold soul of the dark ghost, needed more, when she no longer had any. #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/doaa.a.yousef/p/Bs8U7BOh-k4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tx3w3zot4htu

Where Every Stroke Narrates a Different Story, is my tagline for a reason; Through Art, I narrate short stories, or if I may call it: Narrating My reflections ✨ — Translucent - A Short Story about the emotional turbulence of cross-roads. — Mental state 06 Currently Trapped Between the lines A fortified strap Strings, wires Solicitor of virtues Condemned to solitude Her distressful serenity A shelter, Is way too far from reality Distant space Within the lines, she creates Home, Being a mental state Belonging to a torn page Of a lost diary. Midst the hurricane, she would gaze Preaches for sending light A projection? Merely But it is the one energy she can inhale To bypass the daily darkness Nurturing all surroundings Holding off, self-tamed Tolerance; Sometimes fades Gracefully back to the hiding That favored space A Mental state, she had acquired Where a dose of tolerance, She re-creates — #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/doaa.a.yousef/p/Brn77ZFhu4d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qzvj50t4zirp

My #Artworks never start the way they end, I usually lose myself inside each painting, I lose track of time, reality, I get too involved but eventually - usually halfway through - I understand. I understand A LOT. A perfect elaboration to Thomas Merton’s quote: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin

Nothing compares to the contentment I feel as I dip my #brushes in #paint, from that point on, I #detach from life, completely and #myboard becomes #mysafezone , it becomes #alliknow - only then I am able to #relax, only then I #letmyguarddown and only then I let my strokes write down #mythoughts which I hardly have the #right words for ✨ To a life fueled up with nothing but more #creativity and #metime while i enjoy #losingmyself in my #diverse #bubbles , while I #losemyself #somewhereonlyiknow #somewheredistant #somewheresafe - my special #stateofmind then I’m set free.

The process of this painting makes me think of those crazy thoughts we have that keep pulling us back in life. We waste our lives with a lot of unanswered questions which sometimes, gets frustrating, it makes us even angry, those thoughts ruin our present and waste moments that should actually count. Live in the moment and make the best out of it, in the right time, everything will come together, everything will make perfect sense - someday - I have been working on this painting for a long time, my #creativeblock drained me, pulled me back, I wanted to know where it was going, and when that I lost the joy painting it, and just stopped, then I decided to fight this #fear I have from the not knowing where its going, and enjoyed the journey, then it took me right where I wanted it to, I was never meant to know earlier, I am meant to know while #enjoyingmyjourney #masterpiece #abstractpainting #artist #artgallery #abstractart #artfair #inspiration #creative #artnews #artistlife #artfair #fineart #abstractexpressionism #artaslife #ideasmatter #gallery #artdubai #art #collectors #daily #nyc #abstraction #paintings #people #artwork #artoninstagram #wip #dailydose #artvent #emotionalartist #DoYouSpeakArt #iSpeakArt #DoaaAladdin https://www.instagram.com/p/BntLAsrlleQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1emech03kx7i5
