Adnan Ahmed's Gallery

I am basically a realist painter, but i have also worked in other styles. My early work consist of figurative and still life which i executed in realism. Then i started taking interest in Nature. My work draws on the seascape inspired by the nature, reinterpreting it with the help of my imagination. The sea is the ultimate inspiration which is in the center of my artistic creation. The water is the element in constant movement and with constant rebirth. Sometimes is mute and deep as the human soul. For me, sea is vast as a mirror where we can observe our own reflection, our lives and existence. The sea narrates the human destiny and represents eternity. It is a personal challenge to be able to capture the sea, to create how it “feels”. To paint impermanence into a permanent state requires control and freedom together. I have found that in creating something like the sea, it has to be felt as much as possible, to “touch” the reality with the chosen medium and shape it on the canvas.
