Fine art still plays its important role in the life we live. In its presence we see everything beautiful. We also see living matters through an artistic painting drawn with great care and in a style that captivates the mind and at the same time nourishes the soul. He sees in works of art a refuge from the troubles of life and a means of salvation from its troubles. And her tiredness.
In the artistic paintings of the Saudi artist “Asmaa Maghreb”, which we are presenting in this short article, we see plastic art in its most beautiful and wonderful forms, where we see subjects with a purpose and at the same time we see the artist’s proficiency and high creativity in artistic works that take us by storm in beautiful, sparkling details that are both magnificence. Both.
The paintings take us to a world of joy, contemplation, and sophistication at the same time. We see in the artistic paintings the psychological composition of the heroines of the paintings, and at the same time we see the interaction of the distinguished artist with color, shadow, and light, as well as with the components of the painting.
The artist whose paintings we see excelled when she expressed, and when she expressed, she excelled and produced for us paintings that were like murals of the ancient Pharaonic civilization. We see luxury in it and we see splendor in it at the same time.
We are stopped in the paintings by their heroines who emerge from the depths of the paintings, where we see highly visible features, some of which are represented by the formal features of the heroines of the paintings, where we see the wide eyes that remind us of the eyes of her pain, which were praised so much by the Arab poet, the desert poet and the urban poet in later eras. We also see the pure face and the calm, contemplative look that draws from the heritage of women’s guarding and modesty, as if I were the creative artist “Asmaa Maghrib,” in her paintings, expressing the Arab woman in all ages, reminding us of her, and placing her before our eyes, clearly visible, as we contemplate her, see her, and feel her, a symbol of the renaissance of the Arab nation in its ancient history. It is a wonderful symbolic message full of meanings and symbols that surround the paintings like halos of light.
In a wonderful, beautiful painting in which we see a woman with a cactus tree next to her, we glimpse the beauty of the meaning, where the Arab woman and her patience that exceeded limits. We glimpse in the painting the beauty of color, the beauty of the countenance, and the splendor of the symbol. If I had chosen to create a painting that summarizes the Arab woman, her role, and her patience in life, I would have chosen this work of art. It is truly a painting that combines all the virtues, as Arab critics say when they talk about distinguished works of art that leave an impact on the soul and shake the conscience.
Consider with me the aspects of this painting and you will see that the cactus forms half of the painting lengthwise, as if the artist wants to tell us that half of a woman’s life or more requires her patience and perseverance. We also see that the woman in the painting is illuminated by the earrings in her ears like the light of the rising sun. She is a woman whose head is covered with roses and blossoms, and we see that These roses fill the entire sky of the painting with a beautiful meaning that tells us that all of existence will be beautiful despite the difficulties, despite the thorns, and despite the cactus. In the middle of the painting, the light must stop us in two or more halos emanating from both sides of the face of the heroine of the painting in a very expressive meaning, which is that the light is where the woman is the protector of the present and the builder of the future.
Sweet colors shine in the paintings, in which we see the color of the desert, and we see some of the heroines of the paintings frowning, but there is always a thread of light that illuminates the darkness of life and its troubles, and these halos remind me of images of angels in an expression that contains all the meanings of excellence and distinction.
There is silence in the paintings, and in silence there is the momentum of expression, and in the momentum of expression there are all meanings, and in the meanings there is a kind of purification of the soul and spirit together. Here we see the excellence of the artist “Asmaa Maghreb,” who dips her brush into the heart of meanings and draws on the pages of her paintings the threads of fine art in a distinction that places us before an art with an impact.
I am inspired by a final painting in which we see the beauty of the composition, the splendor of the heroine of the painting, and the beauty of the decoration that adorns the top of the painting against a red background filled with a special warmth that makes us contemplate the painting as if we were at a wedding, something that reminds me of immortal works of art. The face of the heroine of the painting is an icon in itself and a special landmark that makes you remember it and never forget it.
I conclude my short article by reviewing some of the works of the distinguished artist Asmaa Maghreb, who soared with her paintings in skies of creativity and artistic excellence. A thousand thanks to this distinguished artist.
