Essays
Special Vision - In this exhibition artist Lila Al-Hindi has a special vision that eyes cannot mistake. It is distinguished for having an eastern soul and contemplating nature which together weave the elements of her creative works in a group of light colors nearly depending on one color; just as a musician playing on an Arab music tool for a fairy motivating melancholy with harmony inspired moderately by the spirit of legacy. -The limited degrees of colors she uses, changes from one phase to another reflecting a vivid expression varying between flowing sentimental glow, and calm performance to the extent of stillness. This is based on all the past experience and formations mathematics. - Her paintings is a connection between past, present and heritage; also it links reality with fantasy as well as reflecting her mildness. In addition it calls the receiver to contemplate the spirit of heritage. - She defines the color borders without affecting each color, so she maintains the wholeness of the work. Critic./ Kamal Gwely
