Karim Awad

My work focuses on the interaction between paint and surface, and then between viewer and picture. A push and pull of layered surfaces, creates a narrative which is recreated and redeveloped by each individual viewer.

I'm a painter, designer and entrepreneur from Ohio but currently living in Toronto, Ontario.

I am the proud father of twin boys.

My paintings have been shown around the world.

I own a cat named Taco.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

As an artist, I am interested in exploring the tension between order and chaos through the use of geometric forms and abstract imagery. In my paintings, I aim to create a sense of harmony and balance through the repetition and arrangement of geometric shapes, while simultaneously incorporating elements of unpredictability and dissonance.

Through the use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes, I seek to evoke a sense of energy and movement within the composition, challenging the viewer to find meaning and significance in the abstract forms. My paintings aim to inspire contemplation and spark the imagination, inviting the viewer to interpret the work in their own unique way.

In my non-representational geometric abstract paintings, I strive to convey a sense of mystery and abstraction, encouraging the viewer to engage with the work on a deeper, emotional level. I believe that by stripping away the constraints of recognizable imagery, I am able to create a space for pure visual expression and exploration.
