Some of the questions I receive regularly…

– How did you do that!

– Is this plastic on top?

– Is this glass layer that reflects the light?​​

 – How come it is so smooth?

    – Why do you have an air compressor and a blowtorch in your studio?!

My answer is the same…this is called fluid art..

Unlike controlled art where brushes are typically used to apply the paint on canvas or any other painting surface, fluid art, where the painting is made using high flow acrylics, resin, special pigments, and other materials, is not as controlled.

With fluid art, the painting process mainly depends on the artist’s intuitive sense of beauty and colours as air and fire are used to turn the fluids into a beautiful abstract or a breathtaking landscape

And while all fluid art pieces have a beautiful flow of colours, resin art particularly has a high-end look with a glass-like finish. it reflects the light perfectly, easy to clean and resistant to heat and humidity.

While most people think that the selection of an original painting should mainly depend on the interiors design and colours scheme in thier home or office, I have found that most people who were lucky enough to find and posses the ‘right’ painting/art for them had experienced one or all of the following symptoms!..

1- Just like falling in love, your heart would probably skip a beat! You would typically have that wow effect allover your face and your jaw will drop! you may also hear a sound in your head saying..I must have that! 

2- The right piece of art ‘for you’ will make you gaze at it for a while, getting happily lost in the details..

3- It would also stir emotions, you will feel something.. A special part of you that this one painting will manage to connect with directly and without your permission!

4- You will keep thinking about that painting/art piece even after you can no longer see it. You won’t just forget about it, and if you are lucky it will be still there when you go back to get it (I know I was not that lucky 15 years ago when I let the right painting (for me) slip through my fingers..something I still regret to date!”

Art is not just a part of a decor setting, it is one of the few things in life that can take your breath away.. and add some colour to your life.. Literally!

Dubai is becoming more and more focused on art and culture with the annual art exhibition World Art Dubai, Al Serkal Avenue, and so many other art galleries around the city.

And while buying prints from any of dubai malls is easy, we have 5 important reasons to why you should buy original art instead…

Reason # 1: One of a Kind

While prints can be found everywhere, original art, especially fluid art, is unique so you are buying a one of a kind piece.

Reason # 2: Can go up in Value

Unlike prints, original art is an investment and can go up in value over time.

Reason # 3: There is a Story Behind

Original art reflects emotions, feelings and a story behind it. Ask the artist, if possible, and enjoy the details.

Reason # 4: Original art is Engaging

It can start a discussion with friends, children and one’s self. What can you see? is a common question when you look at an abstract painting for example. Each person usually sees something different.

Reason # 5: Original art is Personal

When you buy an original painting, it is yours! it made you feel something and that is why you bought it. it spoke to you. so whenever you look at it again and again, you never get bored. It relates to you and you relate to it.
