Artist Statement:
Art, for me, is about beauty.
The primary motive is the
aesthetic value, so I tend to
lean towards the “art for
art’s sake” school of theory.
I do not like to be surrounded
by ugliness, no matter how
meaningful it may be; that
would kindle too much negative

Shurooq Amin's Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Shurooq Amin's Portfolio.
Art, for me, is about beauty. The primary motive is the aesthetic value, so I tend to lean towards the “art for art’s sake” school of theory. I do not like to be surrounded by ugliness, no matter how meaningful it may be; that would kindle too much negative energy. Therefore, I save the ugliness for my poetry; with words, I can be shockingly raw and transparent and ugly; but with my art, I prefer to let the colours glow, the shapes flow, the texture rich and thick with paint, the vision dreamy. The concepts may be philosophical, the issues behind the painting may be quite real and stoic, but the picture must always be beautiful to behold.... |
