All About Raem Mesilati

In the body of my works you will find a careful lack of control, I approach a painting strongly, leading with conceptual confidence and technical abilities whilst being equally frightened. The state that leads me to take something from the metaphysical to the physical makes me pause for a moment and dread the piece.

In my works I try to carefully handle the abstraction of representations that are important to me, they are not abstract at all, but are painted on a meticulously realistic level and yet are portrayed so that they are not recognizable.

 Whatever the head fails to undress the physical materials and angles will carry out the assignment. And even if it does not work out, I will find a new way to break the real world.

Abstract realism, realism in its simplicity from the grain of materials, the nucleation of items, the nucleation of an individual. I.

This expedite leads me to war, the "I" war, a war like the id, ego, and super-ego war, a war of censorship versus intimate exposure of passions that leads me through painting.

 I approach painting with war in mind, heart and soul - I try to carefully depict in my paintings this other that one moment when the physical forces meet, and try to gauge the forces of each other before their conquer, destroying one another till one rules.

Akin To death as opposed to life, fire opposed to water, control opposed to chaos. This battle spans different time ranges, a fraction of a second, a fraction of a month, a fraction of a year and part in an endless struggle.

In my finished paintings you will find a wide range of colors, techniques, brushstrokes and different levels of precision and tolerance - all these describe me during the pictorial process, I move in the conscious world between control and lack of control, when in the real world control threatens the chaos and puts it in the frame, controls it. Control incongruent. Moderate chaos.

Only one thing does not change, the canvas.
