We, as Humans, were taught one true fact, and that’s the life was built with groups of two factors (Dualism),

like the man and woman, light and dark, true and false, beauty and ugly…

And at a certain period of my life I worked with this subject in every little detail in my painting.

But starting from 2011 with the beginning of the war in my country, I realized that this fact is silly and could

not be true.

Two-point subject will happen on a STRIGHT LINE and there will be just two sides to go. On this line there

will be an infinitive amount of points, but is this enough? Because each and every one of them will be

affected by the Two-point fact.


What Triplism could present is not just a third point, it creates a space of real life.

In short, I believe that our life is formed by triple connections and not by dual relations.

The goal is not to add a third element and then stop at this limit, the purpose is to enlarge the area

of perception for all variables, the third element is always variable and not fixed.

I think this is how we could represent the operation of creation, we couldn’t do this in a straight line, but

within the space and vacuum, which contributes to create an atmosphere of dialogue between different

elements

After reaching a point where I felt good with the figure I add the background to my work. Again, every line, object, and

connection were under the roles of Triplism. The background gives the ability to describe an event or a story, that might limit

and frame the space of possibilities. However, with Triplism, I could give an endless dialogue toward a specific event. I drew

some paintings around the war in my country Syria and I think that Triplism is the best way to talk about a very complicated

subject that surbases the individual capability of understanding the world. I mean as a Syrian I have of course my opinion in

this war but it’s absolutely not the full image of such a disaster. Triplism multiplies the probabilities of receiving the artwork

to exceed the limit of the one individual approach adopted by the artist.
