The Iraqi artist Falah Al Saeedi, through his artworks in the exhibition, tries to document the moments, shots and scenes that are not dated by history nor recorded by biographical books, in order to reformulate and reshape the world, in a realistic narrative language and an expressive abstract style, through which the Iraqi artist wanted to feel the integrity of our senses and the purity of our souls from the impurities and dust of days, and this is what makes art a cultural necessity not a luxury life.

The artist Al Saeedi pointed out that the artworks he is presenting in the exhibition are of aesthetic values ​​and contents that make all the recipient’s senses celebrate them and realize their aesthetic effect remains.

He pointed out that there are two dimensions to his artistic experience, the first psychological and the source of this experience, and the second embodied in the existence that surrounds the humans where time and place are the most important elements influencing it and contributing to its formulation and formation.
