Architecture On My Mind
In juxtaposition with the landscape series, Architecture On My Mind depicts the passage of time on man-made constructs, and the connection between people and their built environment. These paintings portray our historical relationship with these urban and rural spaces. Thawra or A New Dawn paints the destruction caused by wartime through the perforated concrete facades, reminders of human neglect and a longing for new beginnings. Similarly, the The Pink House, and Saint Vilnius/A Walk in The City paintings portray what were once beautiful homes and vibrant streets forgotten through time, calling for historic preservation. The paintings of the Balamand monastery show the emotional connection between people and architecture. The edifice represents a multi-generational source of strength with its vernacular stone construction of arches and vaults, that withstands the test of time.
