I cannot look away from the endless, expanding patterns of the hypnotic artwork of California based artist Asad Faulwell. His undeniably precise painting style allows him to create these incredibly detailed paintings that absolutely blow me away! The brilliant, psychedelic colors in this series creates such a stark contrast to the focal point of each painting; the portraits of women. These subjects are actually based on photographs of Algerian women who fought as part of the resistance against the French occupation. The women are shown as very beautiful, but also with tears on their face and even blood on their hands. Faulwell's work definitely shines a light on a part of history with women worth remembering!
The geometric repeating patterns pushed up against layers of organic shapes create completely spectacular compositions! His contemporary take on traditional Islamic motifs form a whole new world for the viewer as well as the women in his paintings.
