Process
@eveleenabadir ↗
  • 01

    Gathering

    Arabic dailies, French-language magazines, English-language fragments. Clippings are sorted and stored: each canvas begins with an archive.

  • 02

    Composition

    The surface is built in layers: printed fragments, transparent washes, acrylic impasto.

  • 03

    Pigment

    Warm palette — cadmium yellow, raw sienna, vermilion red, petrol blue. Wide brushes for the grounds, long brushes for the contours.

  • 04

    Rest

    Long drying, cold retouches, final varnish. Time is part of the medium.

  • Un fragment d’identité entre mémoire et couleur.

  • Last night, I dreamed of my mother. She stood there, surrounded by an intense, blinding light. She didn’t speak… she just looked at me in silence. I woke up, trying to convince myself it was truly her, but something inside me couldn’t fully grasp it. She felt close, yet unreachable. I called for her… but she never answered. I fell asleep again, hoping to find her once more. When I woke up, I kept searching… because I miss her more than words can ever hold. She visits me in silence, wrapped in light, and even without a single word, I feel everything.
