ABOUT THE DIALOGUES COLLECTION

The idea of putting together two known and charismatic painters – Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian – in a new and common representation and meaningful confrontation is to provoke a dialogue that will offer useful points of view: The hard and the soft, the clear and the vanishing, the mathematic and the indefinite, the decided and the doubtful. This richness of the dialogues or confrontations of the two personalities lies in the innumerable aspects of human behavior: friendship, love, hate, indifference, envy, harmony, collaboration, incompatibility, etc..

In this collection Gulnar Sacoor crosses, in an exciting dialogue, Modrian’s unique abstract view with horizontal and vertical lines, his palette of primary color paints – red, blue and yellow, plus black and white, with the meditative art of Rothko and its mature relationship with colors, alternating contrasts and subtle chromatic variations, a unique and demanding place for silence in the contemplation of Art.

“I love to play with colors. They have the ability to trigger our emotions, to affect the way we think, act and influence our attitudes. I paint according with my states of mind. It is in art that I search peace and lightness of spirit. I accept my evolution by the inspiration life brings me every day. My goal is to hopefully convey energy through colors making this my humble contribution towards grace and peace, fundamental in this disturbed time of mass fear and confusion. I paint with love. Pure. Direct. I have loved Mondrian and Rothcko’s works since I know myself. They draw me immensely and they quieten me with pure silence. This is the way I honor them.” (Gulnar Sacoor)

ABOUT CONNECTIVITY 4

Connectivity 4 is a work by artist Gulnar Sacoor that talks about the connection between human beings, based on the belief that the cosmos is in us, that we are made of the material of the stars.

“When I started, I found myself in the expression of Kufic calligraphy, in the description of the Divine attributes, in the memory of the high aspiration of the mystic, in the essence of Man, in the essence of universality. Painting is my way of doing meditation, it is my process of knowing the soul.” (Gulnar Sacoor)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this artwork, the artist combines the beauty of a close-up view of a pink nuanced butterfly with a profoundly spiritual and creative dimension, once Anika, in Indian tradition, means Goddess Durga, a supreme goddess that embodies the feminine and creative energy.

“Looking at butterflies I see unimaginable colors and patterns! The lightness with which they move, the spell and joy… Metamorphoses is a ”constant” in Life. I choose to paint, inspired by Butterflies.” (Gulnar Sacoor)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork was inspired by Zeuxidia amethystus amethystus, the Saturn, a species of butterflies from Singapore. The artist combines the beauty of this butterfly with a profoundly spiritual and creative dimension, once blue butterflies are not so easy to see, in fact, in general, the color blue itself is rare in nature, so the spiritual meaning of the blue butterfly is even more special, it represents the tranquility, peace and beauty of life and simpler times.
