Series: Transformation. A Transformation from two dimensions to
three dimensions. Year Painted: 1976. Information: These
sprouts are a transformation from two dimensional abstraction to
three dimensional realism. The Sprout is the second stage of the
transformation. The third stage is the three dimensional realism
sculptures. The sculptures can be found in the sculpture category.
My intention was to express the tragic situation in Kurdistan in three
dimensional realism. That is when I did all the sculptures. _______________________________________________________________________
Creative evolution consists of thirteen pieces of fiberglass paintings which
represent the evolution of art. They are conceptual and spiritual expression
that penetrate through another horizon of visualization to depict the birth and
rebirth of art.
Included is a thirteen part diagram showing three climaxes of art for the
sake of art. The first evolution climaxes in the first attempt at making art (Cave
Art). The second evolution climaxes in a perfection of art (the Renaissance).
The third evolution peaks in Abstractionism leading to the big question: "What Next?"
A period of confusion follows. Finally and hopefully we will reach a greater
realization which will take us to a new vertex which hopefully will never decline.
The diagram works in this manner. The diagram represents several evolutions
before the start (or a very fine undulation). These evolutions are divided into
thirteen parts. Four of these are Temptations, three are Revellions preceding
three Climaxes. Following each of the three Climaxes comes the relaxation
that leads to the Decline.
As each level of evolution approaches the present their time span shortens,
until finally they overlap. The fourteenth and the fifteenth parts consist of the
Coming Rebellion and its Climax or the Start. Each period has been
represented by an elementary color; as these periods overlap secondary
colors are created. As each evolution approaches the present the elementary
color reduces. The fourteenth, fifteenth, and those following will be of vibrating
colors. The start occurs when all the colors go into time as a brilliant vibration.
The Start might be possible after the year 2000
Color Representations:
Elementary Colors = Pure, simple, artless
Overlapping Colors = Association, trust, recognition, experience
(Secondary colors)
Red, orange, and yellow = Rebellion
Purple = Temptation
Green = Climax
Blue = Decline
 Creative Evolution: This diagram has been designed inside a triangle, which isinside a square, As shown in the picture on the left. The diagram goes from the past to the future, then hopefully to an infinite future (timeless). This will be accomplished by reaching out and connection, and not by controlling and disconnecting.

Since 1969 all my work has been shaped canvas which included hard edge abstraction to
abstract expressionism. During this time I used fiberglass and various fabrics. In 1976,
I changed to representational artwork. During this peroid I created large fiberglass
sculptures to depict the pain and suffering of the Kurdish people. I refer to this period
as the, "Dark side of the elements" and my new series I refer to as the, "Bright side of
the elements", using tulips and orchids, which surround emerging dancers in bright colors,
forms and movements. Currently, I have completed six of the fourteen pieces to be
represented in my new series. All current works are acrylic on canvas on wood and
steel and lexon.
