Ayad Fadel

  was born in Iraq, Baghdad in a very  instructed family, with artistic inclinations.   One of his uncles is a very famous musician    in Iraq, and the other one is a painter , too.         He discovered himself very early, at the age

   of 5. He felt and expressed differently than other children of his age, when he started drawing and painting.

He was painting all the time and he use to do portraits, so very soon the family and the relatives were surprised when they saw his sketches. His love for art continued in the next years when he goes out on the street to make portraits.
He studied at the Fine Art Academy of Baghdad Iraq for two years and continued studying while gaining experience from some renowned artists on order to achieve his goal in the field of art. After he comed in USA he studied for extensive rate experience. From college, Ayad Fadel also has a degree in electric stuff.

Statement

Through approach of the abstract and the figurative, my work exhibits the essence of the
subject. Through color and activity, my work defines the emotive quality of painting. Incorporating design and cultural identification, I reveal the pains and pleasures of my native country along with my new country ’tis of thee… sweet land of liberty.’
My native country is riddled with beauty and danger. These two extremes that impacts the soul very deeply causes the human condition much anxiety. Therefore, fleeing to a new land, to find tranquility and peace for my family, was reality and a priority. Thus, my art reflects this departure and flight to a new land and finding peace.
In this regard, my work can be seen as a type of self portrait; but also, it is, to be sure, an autobiographical account. Seemingly my main artistic style. I think it’s the way I most easily express my self .

The first language of humanity was drawing.

The prehistoric people draw to of express there fear, their love, their dream , art is also about learning to communicate your vision to others.

I want to transmit to the people my visionary personal concept like a self expressions of giving something from my own emotion to the other, to feel sharing both the joy and sadness of life and about teaching people hearts, even those who know nothing about art sharing emotions.

Since moving in USA in 2006, Ayad Fadel wants to get more experience and to achieve a high level, to learn new techniques, new things to help him to succeed, so he follow the studies in Fine Art Institute in Houston.

Ayad Fadel art has an international recognition in newspapers from his country and in the neighboring countries where he had exhibitions – Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh, and also in Houston – USA.
