I am Tamim, a surreal pop artist who was born in Tripoli in 1998. My artistic journey has revolved around a powerful theme: addictions. Despite facing the challenges of kidney failure and undergoing regular dialysis treatments, my addiction to art has been the driving force behind my creations. It is through this addiction that I have developed a unique and distinctive style of painting, one that transcends borders and delves into the realm of the surreal.
My paintings serve as reflections of the transformative experiences individuals undergo while grappling with various addictions. They are a visual representation of the changes, both internal and external, that occur during these experimental journeys. Bright, eye-popping colors dominate my artwork, demanding the viewer's attention. Exaggerated features and surreal elements are woven into the tapestry of my paintings, drawing the observer deeper into the intricate layers of emotion and meaning.
My art not only captures the essence of addiction but also serves as a personal outlet for my struggles with health. While undergoing the rigorous process of cleansing my body through dialysis, I found solace and purpose in creating sixteen paintings. Each stroke of the brush, every splash of color, became a means of catharsis and self-expression. Through art, I could confront my own battles and transform them into something tangible and visually striking.
