Ayad Fadel’s artistic work, through the abstract and figurative depictions, exhibits the essence of the subject in his paintings. His expression, through both color and expressive activity, emotively depicts the pain and hopes of his native country. Incorporating culturally relevant design and symbols, as well as artistic aspirations of what the future may evidence. My native country is riddled with beauty and danger. These two extremes impact the soul very deeply. No one chooses openly to leave their homeland, but when life has been completely disrupted and normalcy and healthy existence is no longer possible, one must leave with the hopes of creating a better future from afar.” Fadel says further of his work, “It is, therefore, natural that my art should convey my hopes and aspirations for the best of the human experience; as well as those who help support progress. While I was forced to flee to a new land, my belief in the best of humanity, for the rule of law, and for a populace who will stand up and support human rights has remained steadfast. I know there are kindred spirits who support my work. My artistic work seeks to represent, in graphic form, the means by which such may be realized and how true peace and justice may be actualized for all. I continue my efforts to develop myself as an artist and an activist such that I may communicate and connect with my audience.”
