Open Studio tomorrow Saturday and Sunday! Come and

Open Studio tomorrow Saturday and Sunday!
Come and check out my early works from the 90's- I was obsessed with fishlike figures!In my search to find my identity, after arriving in the United States, the new paintings that started emerging on my canvases were “Myth and Mystery Series”. These began with my continuous lyrical line on the canvas and ended up bringing out the mysteries buried under my subconscious mind. Embedded with layers of muted colors, tribal designs, folk patterns, embroidered with pen & ink details, these fish-like figures revealed unknown stories. #myth #mystery #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #salmaarastustudio

This painting is from my series “We Are All One” which is ongoing series since 2001. My belief that we are all connected and equal has only become stronger after two decades. In this work humans, animals, plants, fishes or insects microbes or mycelium swim together on the surface of the earth. Noone is better than other or superior than the other. I am so happy to share that this painting is sold this week by an art patron who believes in my philosophy. #weareallone #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #acrylicpainting #penandink #salmaarastustudio
