Eiad Oraby

 I remember when i first heard the term “Metaphysics” somewhere between 7 and 8 years old, attending a conversation between two art scholars holding a dialogue reflecting on their interpretation of a painting in my father’s studio. Trying to wrap my head around abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space were mind-blowing. The world has looked different ever since. 

I don’t perceive my artwork as a statement but rather as an ongoing dialog, constantly updated with my experiences and perception of the world around me.

I am a Berlin based contemporary visual artist, originally from Egypt, I hold a B.A in Fine Arts from (SVU), and a visiting assistant lecturer at the British university Egypt. 

Freedom of expression, abstract concepts, and interpretation of philosophical ideas or physiological thoughts are of great matter in my work. My current subject of matter is Chaos theory and the butterfly effect in relation to our contemporary ecological and political challenges, manifested in a series of oil paintings exploring the non-linear concept in relation to composition, As well as experimental paintings using photographic processes to create compositions directly on light-sensitive paper and a series of small-scale video art series, depicting a number of abstract compositions inspired by contemporary daily life challenges, reflected on quotations from Alan Wilson Watts (1915 – 1973), who described himself as a “philosophical entertainer” and who contributed significantly to opening the eyes of the West on other cultures and traditions.
