artists' statement

"My images are dealing with the beauties of our culture, especially our myths. But they also show suffering, hunger and repression. That's a part of it: I come from a land of myths and repression. For me these myths are building a connection to the present. They offer topics which are fascinating for me and which are seen as ageless by me. I want to build a bridge from past to present for all those people, who are open or can be interested for that. My images are showing elements of manifold cultures: Those of the Assyric, Meder, Marer, which I am a child of. I want to transfuse their rich symbolic and spirit to the present. This impulse is forming my paintings. The richness of these traditions is a heavy part of my thinking. Here i want to mediate - not at last through expressing peace and love." Rodi Khalil
