ARTWORK COMMISSIONS

Mohamed Hamida welcomes being entrusted with artwork by a client, but it's important to note that he needs creative, artistic freedom.

Did you know ?

THE FLAGSHIP

"Fatima"s Hand [1983] stands as Mohamed Hamida's oldest still existing painting. Legend has it that the artist once grappled with artistic dissatisfaction, consigning all and every creation quickly to the waste bin. However, one day in 1983 a realisation dawned upon him: even famous artists experience peaks and valleys in their inspiration. Henceforth, his future paintings, big or small, good or bad, survived his self-critique.

Dot by Dot

MANY HOURS OF WORK

Mohamed Hamida has pioneered a very distinctive artistic style known as SURREAL POINTILLISM which breaks free from all traditional art school teachings, an unparalleled fusion of imagination and technique. He works dot by dot with feather pen and ink on art paper. Every painting is an unfolding journey revealed with every subsequent dot. The larger works often require more than 100 hours to be finished to the artists satisfaction.

Artwork photography

CAPTURE THE DOT

The original paintings are way more vibrant, mesmerizing and dot-intensive than the small Internet compatible photos can show. This is a fate we have to live with because photography seems to have its limits when it comes to Hamida's pointillism. Even very skilled photographers, adhering to HD standards, cannot prevent the reduction of the tiny dots into a fog-like blur after that image was resized for internet compatibility on websites.
