Batool Al-Fekaiki
"My paintings are musical, symbolic and realistic. This is not direct and bare realism but a mixture of the real within the symbolic and poetic world of the canvas. It is, in other words, a kind of personal symbolism, based on experience, woven in an apocalyptic way.
For me, a painting is a key to unlock the internal world or the private sphere which would be impenetrable otherwise.
I do not like to hide the keys to my soul's many gates and I do not veil the thoughts which my inner world is rich with.
My art is concerned with desire and loss, with distance and nearness,and memories and hopes. As I believe that it is a human right to expression without the slightest fear. Accordingly, one can be fully responsible for one's soul and one's very own self."
