ABOUT DAY DREAMS
The “Day Dreams” series, by the Egyptian artist Hossam Dirar, results from an insightful reflection on the present, addressing our constant need to take refuge in the world of rosy dreams, our subconscious, in order to withstand the pains of the world and find encouragement, strength and hope in the beauteous, which in Hossam Dirar’s work translates into a look at female beauty conducted by impressive brushstrokes that take us to the vibrant world of unconscious.
“To escape a complex reality, we shut our eyes and indulge in daydreams. Daydreams that are made beautifully to represent the beauty of our subconscious. Meanwhile, our conscious mind gathers these thoughts, selecting from them what relieves it from the tensions outside of it.Our souls hold an abundance of positive energies and vibrant hues that are constantly disrupted by the harsh forces of reality. So when we close our eyes, we resort to those spirited moments and gather the strength we need to endure the cruelness beyond them. It is an experience of separation from the external and exploration of the internal, the experience of shutting the eye.” (Hossam Dirar)
