Meditations

Oil pastel drawings on A4 paper

This series consists of a series of meditations reflected artistically through oil pastel drawings on paper. Following the Covid19 pandemic and the severe economic crisis in Lebanon, coupled with the unjust aggressions on Artsakh by Azerbaijan, I was crippled with immense amounts of anxiety and negative emotions. Therefore, I decided to look within and reflect on these issues, and later created this series as a means for meditation and exorcising the instability and negativity that was ravaging my soul.

This year seemed to me like a Purgatory; there was a global shift in consciousness, and new spiritual lessons were now available for humanity to observe and absorb what was necessary. We must all devote the right amount of effort and attention to address these lessons at our own pace.
