# About me
Ismadiβs continues to explore the process of paint, using the human form as a vehicle to create emotion. Life, death, change and time are predominant themes running through ismadi' work, along with his feelings of a seemingly uncontrollable grasp that controls our destiny. Our knowledge and inspiration born from our mistakes and decisions, offers us both pleasure through our expression, and an uncontrollable frustration when our world is not created and shaped in the way we want it to be - helpless in our search for perfection.Using mar, X normally to making as a code for his emotion, a story is unfolded, the beginning and end belonging to and seen through the viewers eyes.
Sketch and drawing are important. β Idiosyncratic drawings act as the foundation for each of my paintings. The unrelated, defamiliarized elements and line work are always changing and derive from my everyday surroundings or even from the drawing itself. The subsequent, generic pattern acts in opposition to the personal drawings and serves to unify the separate factors. I intentionally challenge this equalizing nature as I maintain the integrity of certain drawn details by continuing to bring them forward in the layering process. My desired resolution is enigmatic; an ambiguous presentation of formal elements adhered to and disenfranchised at the same time.
Color operates in both phases of the paintings. It is used expressively within the drawing and analytically as part of the process. Just as in puzzle solving, I use a loose style of guess and check, bifurcation, and backtracking. In my case all of the wrong turns are recorded and incorporated into the painting.β
