Schilderij Iman Ali Khaled | Zelfportret Iman Ali Khaled |
Her paintings are as mix of arabesque and contemporary Western art movements, powerful reflections ‘ Silent Thunders ‘ between her Iraqi-Kurdish past and dream images of her free Western life in the Netherlands.”The difference between my autonomous work of then and now, is that I now have more research and more experiment in making a colourful and powerful imagery. Subjects as freedom were then in Iraq in contrast to here a taboo and dangerous. That has made me stronger as a person and as an artist in my work “.
