Formation: Issam Tantawi

The highest level of dreams for a painting is to get the level of music which is the mother pof all arts. A painting dreams of a melody in each color; a melody carries between its inbuilt the notes of silent, strange and wonderful music... playing music with the rhythm of color’s harmony in the abstract art. What I am looking for is to present -in the painting- a melody which is hard to explain... What causes astonishment and pleasure -in each painting here in this new exhibition in February 18th- is that there is a diversity of colorful groups... the colors ripple with its shapes to create its own melody, story and dance in each painting. I haven’t planned any of my paintings. I used to release my soul with spontaneity in the surface of the painting and wait for the amazing results which surprise and please me... it is that beautiful game and the anxiety which is inside the artist himself; his new piece of art stands as a new entity in front of him, and it talks to him and whispers to him. It looks at him wonderingly and asks him; did you create me or am I the one who create you?!
