About The Artwork
"I am 29" is a captivating digital artwork that encapsulates the overwhelming stress and rapid pace of modern life, as well as the concept of gender disguise and societal expectations. The artwork portrays a young man on the verge of mental and emotional exhaustion, symbolized by his head blown away, and scattered into pieces. The central focus of the artwork is the young man, his face contorted in anguish and weariness. The fragmented remnants of his head represent the toll that the demanding nature of daily life has taken on him. It serves as a visual metaphor for the shattered state of his mind, a consequence of trying to keep up with the hectic tempo imposed by society. To accentuate the theme of gender disguises and identity, the man is depicted wearing a skirt, defying traditional expectations of masculinity and embracing individuality. A delicate pink flower blooms in his shirt pocket, symbolizing both the beauty he hides within and the vulnerability he strives to protect. The chosen color palette further enhances the emotional depth of the artwork. Muted and somber tones dominate the background, evoking a sense of gloom and the overwhelming weight of responsibilities. The juxtaposition of these hues against the vibrant pinks and greens of the man's clothing and the flower brings attention to the contrasting emotions and internal struggle he experiences. "I am 29" serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the psychological and emotional toll that the fast-paced nature of modern life can have on individuals. It compels viewers to reflect on the pressures they face and the masks they wear to conform to society's expectations. Through its poignant imagery and visual storytelling, the artwork contemplates the necessity for self-care, authenticity, and the pursuit of balance in an ever-demanding world.

Maher Diab is a Canadian Lebanese visual artist who excels in the use of color, texture, and form. One cannot categorize Maher’s work as 2D, because he’s continuously pushing the creative envelope of color vs. canvas and form vs. space. Being in the presence of his art is a sensory immersive experience since his artistic expression is not something that falls within the familiar; instead, it pushes the viewer’s boundaries, either inwardly or outwardly. His signature style lies in his sculptural approach to compositions, as well as the use of various materials to create multiple layers in his paintings, which represent the physical and mental conditions that the individual experiences on a daily basis. Moreover, his subjects are rarely solitary and tend to portray various levels of social interactions; what ties his body of work together is the sheer vivacity and liveliness of the art piece as a whole. Diab recently held a striking solo exhibition with Zamalek Art Gallery, where he showcased his exceptional artistic talent. Additionally, he has actively contributed to four prestigious group art exhibitions within the Arab world’s artistic scene.
