Abdullah Murad

My thoughts and mind find difficulty in accepting the fact that art is difficult, which places me in a constant state of anxiety and doubts. I do not normally rejoice at small success, when I discover how fragile these successes really are.

​

I am always confused by the same question: “What does this painting mean?” 

The answer? This painting means itself... The painting has its own special identity; it has nothing to do with any other being or object, but is a mixture of colours moving in its own private world, away from speech or literature... I would say that a painting is a language constructed from silence. A language that can be heard by the eye and touched by the brain.

​

I believe that colour is the initial instrument the painter plays, and then he plays the instruments of his vision, reactions, feelings and maybe even his madness.

​

What does this painting mean? My painting is always an invitation to freedom and happiness, in a world devastated by anxiety, violence, anarchy and a lack of justice.
