The relatively small painting (19 x 32 cm) created in 1991 is one of the all-time STARS in the painting catalog of Mohamed Hamida, receiving admiration wherever it is shown.
This is what Mohamed Hamida calls SURREAL POINTILLISM
Surreal Pointillism, the name is derived from Pointillism in general. One of the defining characteristics of surrealism is its penchant for distorting the familiar, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. In surrealistic paintings, viewers are frequently confronted with images that defy the laws of nature and logic. Limbs may twist and contort in impossible ways, objects may morph into one another seamlessly, and landscapes may defy all sense of scale and perspective.
In such a world, the human form becomes a playground for the artist's imagination. A person's body might be fragmented and rearranged, with limbs serving purposes beyond their intended functions. A head might sprout from where a hand should be, or a foot might occupy the space typically reserved for a hand. These surrealistic compositions challenge viewers to question their perceptions of reality and invite them to explore the boundless possibilities of the subconscious mind.
