Aboul Azm’s art incorporates Figurative Art, Still Life and Landscape unlikely outside the control of the shape and emphasizes on moral presence, respecting the meanings behind the appearance of the unrealistic.

Before Dawn

The first light after long nights is just a tiny distance between night and light. Such brief moment when light is so dim swiftly creates a divine psychological dreamy mode and magical charm, which overwhelm everything around it, when night and light suddenly blend until daylight flourishes…The borderless first light is always full of memories, fears, and illusions. At this moment, things and beings undress their reality creating an honest dialogue between everything present… At this moment we find that the window’s broken glass which we over look life through it suddenly vanishes, leaving nothing seems as it really is.
