The Art Scene Gallery has been transformed into a childhood fairy tale for Shaza Bazerbashi’s exhibition, unveiling the enchanted world of “The Happy Prince.”
Shaza Bazerbashi, a young Syrian artist, explores through her art the dream of childhood, its inherent innocence, joy, and honesty.
Her fascination with the world of children is evident in her effort to highlight the essence of a child’s personality, emotions, and imagination.
She uses a unique blend of spontaneity, intensity, and naturalness to reveal her art. She employs colors and shapes that evoke the wonder and spontaneity of children.
Visiting the gallery and admiring the exhibited works is like taking a journey into a fantastic and colorful universe. The artist takes us by the hand, like little children eager for discovery, and leads us into this adventure where emotions are pure and delightful.
With her warm and vibrant colors, through her joyful brush and the different media she uses, such as acrylic paint, pastels, or spray paint, she paints a beautiful picture of childhood.
“The Happy Prince” (the title of her solo exhibition) explores the vivid and limitless world of children’s imagination.
She captures the spontaneity and energy of young children and brings out the essence of juvenile wonder. Her work celebrates the uninhibited spontaneity and creativity of childhood.
Each piece in “The Happy Prince” tells a story where the represented children become full-fledged characters. She draws her inspiration from everyone she has met, but also from those who have been her students.
The artist places the child at the forefront, allowing their dreamscape to unfold freely. She lets them dream, gives free rein to their imagination, and takes them on a journey through her strange and surreal world, through her vibrant colors and fantastic drawings.
This is how Shaza Bazerbashi creates vibrant and dynamic scenes on her canvases, reflecting the unfiltered creativity of children, their innocence, and their playful journey.
The exhibition also explores the complex aspects of childhood, such as moments of intense emotion leading to cries of joy or mischievous laughter. This is felt through the colors, shapes, and movements of her characters. One might even hear their babbling or voices emerging from these paintings.
These elements highlight the purity and simplicity of children’s experiences. The concept of the inner child is central. The visitor is brought back to their own childhood and rediscovers their joyful and pure self, inspired by these canvases that evoke moments of introspection.
“The Happy Prince” conveys a clear message suggested by the artist: the importance of preserving a sense of wonder and authentic, innocent creativity throughout life.
Visiting this exhibition is revisiting one’s own childhood universe, falling back into childhood to better savor the present moment.
