Stunning work Lindo
As others have said one knows we don't get the sense of the textures and layers from the images, so they must be even more impressive to see with one's own eyes.

Some London, Paris or NYC gallery should have an exhibition of your
unique, expressive artwork. I know that I miss so much of its value by seeing only a photo when it is layered paper and tactile in form......

How very cool to have them on exhibit! I am not familiar with this form but I liked what I saw very much! It has a very unique expression! BTW, I go by sam and Shelly! I have done this since I was 20! sam

Re: My weary eyes would love to see these larger, to get the impact.
I love working on a small scale Ciel, but these pieces (except the Fish) are about 50X70 cm in size as this was the size preferred by the Atelier Cairo. I am trying to find a good site to show my work as I don't have the time to set up my own website. In the mean time, you can hop on a plane to Poland and inspect them for yourself!

Thanks abanerjee
You are very kind, I don't know about the fortune thing but I would love to be able to make more paintings . It's a time/money/emotionally consuming vocation, not easy to juggle with my single mother responsibilities. Don't be intimidated by the fact that you are not an artist, I do not create elitist work. These piece are rooted in the ancient traditions of Arabic calligraphy (which is why you might have felt they are not easy to understand) but they are easy to relate to if you let the form and shades of color sink in. In my experience, it is Arabs who struggle with my works because they keep comparing it to classic pieces (or worse still to the decoration-minded Hurufiyyat).

It is way difficult for one who is not an artist to understand, but from your descriptions, I know they are the works of a very talented artist called lindo
. Good luck with your exhibitions and hope you make a fortune.

You've always been such a great fan taps!
Did you try my zazzle link on the Nomad Mum's Diary? I had a page on Yessy but I found it to be to much work uploading the images and adding all the info needed. I will try to put something together soon and will let you know when it's ready.

If you have a websight where your art is displayed I'd sure love to know the link.
