Convergence of Letter and Color: A Visual Dialogue Between Text and Abstraction

In this series, letter and color, word and image, text and form merge to create a visual space that transcends traditional classifications of fine art. The written word is not merely a textual element, but a visual rhythm that fuses into the composition—becoming part of the chromatic fabric itself.

Executed in acrylic on paper, these works explore the fluidity of form and the interplay of transparency and layering. Words dissolve into abstract scenes, becoming part of a dynamic compositional movement that blurs the boundary between the literal and the lyrical.

Color here functions as a medium of expression, mapping the relationship between text and space, poetry and form. Letters flow through fields of pigment like rhythm flows through music. There is a constant dialogue between abstraction and Arabic calligraphy, where poetic verses become visual pathways, moving through vibrant palettes, while color itself emerges as an extension of meaning.

These paintings are not merely read—they are seen, felt, and experienced. The bold chromatic structures, free brushwork, and fluid motion of the words within the composition reflect an artistic vision that dissolves the boundaries between writing and painting.

They are not simply pictorial works, but drawn texts and written images, where the limits between language and vision melt away—inviting the viewer to enter a living visual dialogue that pulses with meaning and sensation.
