Fadia Haddad Jawdat is a remarkable storyteller with a profound artistic vision. Her art is infused with meaningful visual concepts that evoke myriad visceral and thought-provoking interpretations. With compelling beauty and insight she conveys personal memories about living in the Middle East and observations about the often-complex human experience.
With unerring proficiency Fadia integrates a panoply of human figures, nature scenes, and architectural forms as well as abstract and geometric shapes. Her compositions of similarities and contrasts resemble an exciting well-orchestrated symphony.
Fadia’s natural bravado is unleashed through bold and colorful images propelled by her intuition and unbridled imagination. Her diverse creative process fuses stylistic elements from realistic figurative art and abstraction. Her multi-layered integration of collage fragments and other media — such as acrylic, gouache, charcoal and pen and ink — enliven her surfaces with exquisite textures and dimension.
Some of Fadia’s works of art may be described as a flurry of cerebral intensity and may arouse references to cultural identity, challenges, and worldly concerns. They probe beneath the surfaces of physical forms and often defy our sense of time and space. Other pieces capture quieter expressions of rest, harmony, balance, and resolution that express moments of peaceful reflection.
Fadia skillfully juxtaposes familiar and recognizable imagery with otherworldly fragments and symbolic references to infer dream states and memories enshrouded with a sense of mystery. This encourages us to interpret her artwork from a broad psychological and spiritual perspective.
The highly perceptive narrative works of art Fadia creates provide fertile inspiration for us to embark upon a journey of the unexpected. We are invited to interpret them and make our own discoveries about humanity and our own experiences and memories as we navigate the world.
