Description: In the Walled Gaze, a distorted human face emerges amid a textured landscape of earth tones and architectural fragments. The figure seems partially enveloped by a crimson wave, blurring the line between the body and built environment. Blue patches resembling windows punctuate the swirling composition, evoking memory, longing, and perhaps entrapment. Kanaani skillfully weaves human emotion into a space of visual complexity, where every brushstroke becomes part of a larger psychological architecture.
About the artist: Sirvan Kanaani is a self-taught painter who began his creative journey with calligraphy.
