First Supper
‘First Supper' reimagines a timeless renaissance work, intertwining the past with the present in a celebration of diversity. The protagonist beckons twelve individuals to a symbolic feast where boundaries dissolve, making way for a contemporary tapestry of identities. The scene unfolds on a table not only to witness but to taste, touch, smell, and hear the symphony of life.
The painting evokes feelings of joy, camaraderie, and a sense of shared dreams and aspirations. The vibrant colors could enhance a sense of liveliness and positivity. The act of sharing a meal is often associated with connection and bonding, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The incorporation of dreams in the form of drinks may symbolize the unique aspirations of each individual, creating a sense of diversity and personal growth within the group.
The painting savors the richness born from the amalgamation of aspirations, fostering a shared experience with the grounding authenticity of everyday life.
Traditions & Themes
The scene is set against a gallery of 9 paintings where women, clad in traditional-modern fusion attires, can be seen enjoying leisure activities. The patterns, as seen on the paintings, are inspired by traditional Arabic ‘Sadu’ Tapestries.
