Iraqi Artist Khalid AL-JADIR

“Al-Jadir was an innovative artist, Innovation for him means being sensitive towards colors and things in general, His paintings include scenes that touch and cheer the spirit, his motive was to look for the poetic sense in painting, aesthetic themes which are almost symbolic.

Al-Jadir’s devotion to his artistic world, his interest in culture, the attention he paid to his students as well as his other artistic pursuits and his delicate human sense, all of these reflect the artist’s energy and his love of creative work. This love has been called by artist and critic Shakir Hassan Al-Said ‘Sufi Love’.

I believe that Mr. Al-Said was right when he described Al-Jadir’s experience as Sufi, because what the late artist has left is the outcome of his contemplations of charming things: the beauty of colors, the symbols of things and spiritual atmosphere all of which were charged with poetry and music”
