As part of the 4th Beirut Art Book Fair, Artheum is hosting a talk with Mexican artist Ramadam Karim. Karim’s artwork is mainly figurative representing feelings or sensations that he finds difficult to communicate in literary language.
His creative motivation is born from concepts stimulated by day-to-day events and reflections on universal conflicts, always looking for a consistent visual language that evokes feelings related to the particular subject he is tackling. Abiding by a consistent technique is not paramount in Ramdam’s paintings; it is just a simple tool with a defined purpose.
He rarely uses a completely classic or academic technique. He usually likes to experiment with different materials and techniques, leaving aside the interest for a particular style, thus, opening up possibilities for constant renewal and nourishment through accidental gestures.
