Raed Al-Rawi is fascinated by God's creations. He spends lengths of time staring at human faces, shapes, gestures, feelings and movements. Raed Al-Rawi then feeds these images and emotions into his imagination, which inspires his paintings.
Raed Al-Rawi prefers to paint with acrylics ecause of their short drying time. He enjoys painting in a style of building layers of colors. Raed also feels that this short drying time makes it possible for him to maintain an intense momentum that expresses his feelings through the flow of painting while building up layers.
Raed Al-Rawi believes in the powerful sympolism of colors. He states that, "they speak to me as individuals when I use their power in my work. By blending colors to create a hazy luminosity, I strive to create a deeper dimension to my paintings that gives the feeling of the images’ disappearance into the unknown. Psychologically, humans are curious to know more and they naturally bring their own selves to the unusual subjects and images I bring into the painting. I try to guide the viewer to those feelings we all search for. I have developed this painting style to create images of an ongoing conversation about life."
Raed Al-Rawi also comments on his work by saying, "I feel wonderful when I succeed in making my images speak for themselves and make a connection with the viewer."
