Gold dervish 1 Painting

Whirling dervish in gold “Movement fascinates me. It is the challenge of capturing the ephemeral nature of three dimensional dynamic forces through the static media of paper, oil, charcoal and inks. The movement of line and color, the interplay of diaphanous veils and cloths, and solid limbs, the sweep of lines and colors make the movement come alive. Movement is life, and I want the viewer to feel that movement”. Sufism is my abiding love and my dervishes and dancers reflect that passion.I try to capture the fascination interplay of colors and light in nature and in architecture.
