Live Painting

Ancienne Belgique

I had the chance to take part in a multidisciplinary art event organized by Ancienne Belgique in the heart of brussels.
I was invited to perform a live painting during four hours, communing with the  live performance of the musiciancs.


Context:

The performance occurred on October 26, 2024, during a time when Israel was conducting airstrikes in Lebanon, and the media were covering the widespread destruction in Gaza. I was filled with rage each day, witnessing the brutal devastation of the place where I was raised. It was in this charged atmosphere that I felt compelled to delve deeper into a theme I have been examining: Orientalism, and the motivations behind the involvement of different countries.


I decided to embark on this painting journey without any preconceived notions or sketches in mind. Instead, I immersed myself in various news stories and content related to the situation there, letting my emotions to guide the process.
