Unveiling Emotions Through Abstract Form: A Technical Journey into "Tales of Silence"

 



1. Layering and Texturing: I began by building up layers of paint to create depth and texture. This involved using both thick and thin applications of paint, sometimes incorporating different tools like palette knives or to achieve unique textures.


2.Blending with strong Gradation: For the background, I used a proprietary layering technique called 3D-X to create transitions between warm yellows, oranges, and hints of green. This involved gradually mixing colors on the canvas to create a harmonious and dynamic backdrop.


3. Bold Brushstrokes: The figure at the heart of the composition was rendered with bold and expressive brushstrokes. This technique allowed me to convey emotion and movement without focusing on precise details, capturing the essence of the subject with a realistic depiction.


4. Abstract Realism: By creating strong contouring of the visage and the figure and using abstract forms, I combined elements of realism with abstraction. This approach enables viewers to interpret the painting in their own way, creating a personal and emotional connection with the artwork.


5. Color Contrast: I carefully selected the colors for the figure's attire, using shades of blue and purple to create a striking contrast with the warm background. This contrast not only adds visual interest but also emphasizes the figure's presence within the composition.


6. Layered Textures: To enhance the tactile experience, I incorporated various textures into the painting. This involved using different mediums and techniques to create a multi-dimensional surface that invites viewers to explore the artwork up close.


7. Movement and Vitality: Throughout the painting process, I focused on creating a sense of movement and vitality. This was achieved through dynamic brushstrokes, varying line thicknesses, and the interplay between the figure and the background.


By using these techniques, I aimed to create a visually engaging and emotionally resonant piece that invites viewers to delve into the "Tales of Silence" and uncover their own interpretations and stories.

My Saatchi Gallery Experience: A Journey Through Contemporary Art with Konooz Last year, I experienced a whirlwind of emotions, from disbelief to pure joy, as I participated in a collective exhibition at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery in London. It was a dream come true, a culmination of years of dedication to my art, and a significant milestone in my creative journey. This incredible opportunity was made possible by the esteemed Konooz Art Auction house, and I'm thrilled to finally share my experience with you all. The Road to Saatchi: A Story of Persistence As a contemporary artist working with acrylic and oil paints, putting your work out there can be daunting.

But I've always believed in the power of my art and continued to create, driven by an inner passion that wouldn't be silenced. My journey to the Saatchi Gallery ...

The Path to self-discovery

Website   The Unseen Brushstrokes: My Journey as a Self-Taught Artist The canvas holds more than just colors and forms; it reflects the journey of the artist, the struggles, the triumphs, and the quiet moments of self-discovery. As a self-taught artist in Lebanon, my path has been one of embracing the unknown, navigating uncharted territory, and finding my voice amidst the vibrant tapestry of the Lebanese art scene.   Challenges: A Tapestry of Doubts The absence of formal training often felt like venturing into a labyrinth without a map. The initial excitement was intertwined with a nagging sense of uncertainty. Where do I begin? What techniques should I master? Am I even on the right path?     Self-doubt became a constant companion, whispering insidious questions in the quiet of my studio. Was my work good enough? Did I have the "talent" that those with formal training seemed to possess effortlessly? The isolation of the self-taught path amplified these ...

Jad Zeitouni - Annahar News - Lebanon - 2024

  Arabic Version (Original) Beirut - Written By Mansour Al-Habr Jad Zeitouni's artistic achievements are characterized by the aesthetics of "confrontation", and by an artistic style that contains within it more than one expressive trend and more than one question. The artist approaches his painting with a sharp, spontaneous impulse, not preceded by preparation, at a calm pace. He begins without fear. He draws with color, and with color he erases what he draws tirelessly, from the beginning of the painting until it is completed. Jad Zeitouni takes continuous risks and does not hesitate to use the dangerous green color. If we look closely, we come across the composition of the painting, which in turn is subject to shifts and changes that distance us from the prevailing view that composition is a fixed element in the painting.  A risk, or rather, continuous sabotage at the level of color, and an enticement to a rich spectrum of colors without falling into vulgarity. This ill...
