Essays
Nevien’s latest artwork distinguished with its powerful expressionist glowing style applied on abstract graphic formations. She always supports this choice by selected natural, human and geological transformed materials. Meditating her works, we’ll realize her eagerness for a fine mien rooted from nature and secrets of the globe to produce language similar to the primeval alphabet of man. Hence, her artwork depicts the relationship between man and nature. Thereupon, nature often transformed into a philosophical idiom when art tackles it independently. At the first sight, the artist solicit us to share her own world.. to explore the mystery of the unknown!! To investigate the magic powers in nature and our surroundings, which transformed by Nevien Swilam into unique dramatic art creations. Throughout the compound odd relations, with the motion of its shadows through the dichromatic colors, that look like melodies moved with music in a fast profound motion then slow whispered one.. then ‘tense’ stillness. Thenceforth, Nevien is faithful to this graphic style with its techniques, but in a conservative instinctive style of every theory of art, with an inner passion to get the fine art language back to its primitive helical mien. Knocking on our memory to see the unshaped and light, color and stripe, medium and light. Where the surface turned into an open space without any bars between strips and colors, they all milted in one flowage. Thence Nevien’s tableau has its outstanding existence regardless of what it represents. By artist / Mohammed Rezq
