Meet Ebtisam

My works are a clear and present part of who I am in the theater of life and daily existence. The variety in shapes and materials, from photographs to video, installation, numbers and geometric shapes are definitely exhibited for different purposes. Some document the accelerating times, others present an alternative concept to the accelerating change in our environment, I also dealt with everyday issues laden with psychological poignancies; issues like life and death, happiness and sorrow, love, hate and jealousy, as well as other human situation we are faced with in our daily lives such as social, justice, equality, Race, religions and political Issues. Some of my works are related to modern science, especially mathematics. I need these sciences as a modern human being, and that need commands their inclusion in art. I created Maps, drawings, systematic paintings and Huge installations. My performance art demonstrates a clear and present part of who I am as a female Arab/ Muslim artist in the theater of life and daily existence. Originating from a culture that displays very conservative and censored tendencies, some of my work discusses the conceptual basis of complete freedom. which are subjects that is not always permitted to be produced back home simply due to the sensitivity of the concept and topics. Other aspects of my art raise issues relating to women at its core, and the coalescence of the environment and social issues on women; in this respect, it is my intention to express the conflicts between the individual and society. Furthermore, I represent each and every woman whom is searching for freedom. My art is a true representation of how I feel as an Arab woman, as an artist, a friend, a daughter, and the multitude of various roles that I have accepted unequivocally or decisions that have been allocated to me, up until now.
