The Dawn Break: The Sweet Poison of Life - An Artistic Exploration

The Dawn Break: The Sweet Poison of Life - An Artistic Exploration

"The Dawn Break" is a thought-provoking artwork by Ali Omar Ermes that combines elements of color and sound to create a sense of comprehension and desire for new beginnings. The piece features poems by Qotam Ebni Khabeeh, also known as Sullotan, who advises his son on life and values in a storytelling manner.

These poems have a unique ability to convey the deadliest serious and sometimes frightening aspects of life and responsibility in the most beautifully sweet and musically moving sounds. As you listen to the art of language expression, you may find yourself enjoying the poetry even as it touches on serious and potentially alarming topics.

This artwork, which measures 150cm x 100cm and is crafted from acrylic on paper mounted on canvas, was originally created in 2003 and is currently in the possession of a private collector. It serves as a reminder of the importance of considering the deeper meanings and messages conveyed through language and art.

Tughra: Whispers of Wisdom: An Artistic Tribute to Abul Ala Al Ma’arri

In his artwork titled "Tughra," Ali Omar Ermes incorporates a powerful verse from the philosopher-poet Abul Ala Al Ma’arri. The verse speaks to the idea that when one speaks of the truth, they must do so softly and with caution, as the truth can often be unpopular or unwelcome. In contrast, when one speaks of things that are implausible or untrue, they can do so loudly and without fear of reprisal. This observation is particularly relevant in today's world, where it is often easier to speak out and make bold claims, regardless of their veracity.
