THOMAS MAGDI AWAD Along The Way - Series #5, photograph, 13.5" x 16.5"
Thomas Magdi Awad says about his work, "Everything I paint on is something I've found - this is one way that I can be a good steward to the earth. Also, it is my duty to bring color into the world. My pieces are reflections of my souls' condition. I call them "soul scapes." Through the process of painting I have experienced many facets of my human nature - I have seen great darkness within myself and I have seen great light, but most importantly, I have discovered that I have the capacity to choose between the two. The world has seen enough darkness; I choose light." text and image from The Chait Galleries Downtown
