A Journey Through Vivid Realms of Fari Ali
by Viviana Puello.
In an extraordinary showcase of expressionism, artist Fari Ali captures more than just images; they seize the very essence of her subjects, rendering them with a spirituality that transcends the canvas. As an advocate for the timeless nature of art, Ali proclaims, “All passes, only art endures,” a belief deeply embedded in her vibrant creations. A distinct union with the divine, the mystical, and the unknowable is felt through each brush stroke, displaying a rare ability to manifest ‘the miracle’ that connects our material existence to the spiritual world.

There’s a conversation here, not only within the art itself but with the viewer, prompting a spiritual journey that commences at the surface and delves deep into the realm of the unseen.

This artwork mirrors not only the physical form of a leopard by the water but also reflects the profound depth of the creature’s existence, juxtaposing the tangible with the spiritual.
