2007-2009 / Encuentro

Encuentro. Encounter. when your soul crosses another soul you will Encounter. you meet without knowing why, and wonder why you are where you are, locked in a situation that has slowly tricked you into acceptance. and you Encounter. maybe you have not learned to communicate but your souls have already exchanged many longed conversations. you are simply forced to encounter without being able to escape one another. and you slowly progress into acquaintances, friends, brothers. one day. your souls have satiated their seemingly endless conversations. it will be time for departure. and so you leave, without knowing why. your friendship has now evolved into memories of good days. and so your soul smiles. and so do their souls.

Inspired by Arabic Calligraphy 

These three paintings from this series are inspired by Arabic calligraphy found in the mosque architecture of Philadelphia. The beautiful calligraphy inspired me to take Arabic courses at the University of Pennsylvania.  The brushstrokes are created using a soft brush, inspired by Chinese calligraphy.
