Georges Ward
@georgesward
Georges Ward, born in Zaragoza (Spain) in 1971 to a Lebanese father and Spanish mother, started studying the arts of drawing and painting at a very early age.
His inspiration derives primarily from mythology and nature, where entomology plays an important role.
From a young age he is very influenced by the Near East art, due to his many trips to these lands, especially the one-year stay in Syria. The smells of spices, damasks… everything plays an important role in his laborious painting.
His themes journey between fantasy and reality, inviting us to look out of a window through which we are able to contemplate societies parallel to our own. His works take the form of universes; worlds which materialize with their own codes that show us the pyramid of life, codes that are critical of the relentless advance of our 21st Century human anthills, revealing to us a reality nourished by fiction and vice versa. Each plant, each insect and each organism plays a social role, or is maybe a real being closely related to our everyday lives. Georges ward’s theatre sets, bursting with flora and fauna, display an atmosphere which takes root in the synesthesia of the image, in symbiosis, and where the sensuousness of aesthetic beauty belies a critical stance; a feedback mechanism which portrays a paradise of divine proportion and biodiversity laden with symbolist elements. An ever-changing Empire of the senses, brimming with colouristic compositions which speak to us about life and death.
