The matter of time, us technology..
The matter of time, us technology..
60 x 60 cm acrylic paint on canvas.
Exhibited at The Big Art Show /Paisley Scotland till 26th of November 2022.
This painting, titled A Matter of Time,us technology , is my way of showing the struggle between being human and living in a world run by time and technology. The gears and mechanical parts take over most of the canvas, but they’re not just there to show how time moves. They represent the systems and routines that trap and control us without us even noticing.
At the center of it all is a woman’s face, broken into pieces. Her green eye stands out, watching everything. It’s the heart of the painting, a symbol of human awareness that refuses to be lost in the chaos. No matter how much technology takes over, something human stays alive, watching, resisting.
The gold gears seem attractive, like they promise progress and order. But as you follow them, you see they’re messy and tangled, invading her face and identity. Her deep red lips are a quiet act of rebellion—a sign that she won’t be silenced by the mechanical world.
The mix of detailed and rough brushstrokes wasn’t random. I wanted to show the clash between order and chaos, like how we try to balance our inner feelings with the outside world’s demands.
This painting isn’t about giving in to time or machines. It’s about fighting to keep what makes us human. It asks: In a world that tries to turn us into machines, how do we hold on to ourselves? or will we be able to?
“Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.”

Chronicles of Red Seagull-Longing
Chronicles of Red Seagull-Longing
Acrylic on 61x61 cm box canvas.
It is my exploration of the human spirit, represented as a seagull in flight. The forms and shapes in this piece depict a bird’s-eye view of a life story—a narrative of someone who has wandered far and wide, yet hasn’t found a place to truly call home. The red seagull symbolizes the restless energy of a soul yearning for belonging, its vibrant color reflecting the passion and persistence that drive us forward, even amidst uncertainty.
The clouds in the composition evoke a sense of ethereal freedom, contrasting with the fragmented, layered shapes below, which represent the complexities and fractures of life’s journey. Through bold brushstrokes and a rich interplay of colors—cool blues, soft whites, and fiery reds—I wanted to capture the tension between the desire for freedom and the ache for stability. The sweeping lines and layered textures bring motion and emotion, echoing the flux of a life lived in pursuit of connection and meaning.
This piece is a reflection of my thoughts on wandering, longing, and the resilience of the human spirit as it soars, searching for a place to belong.
