Unique techniques and innovative approaches inform Aj's abstracts
Aj is a self-taught abstract artist based in Dubai. Originally from Paris, she has been shaped by formative periods in Geneva and London. Her practice is rooted in the language of colour, emotion and intuitive movement, creating visual dialogues that exceed verbal expression. In her art making, she combines a mixed-media process with poured acrylic and oil pastels and follows the natural flow of pigment, while mediating with planned interventions. The interplay of fluidity and precision is a mirror of the human experience itself, according to her — unpredictable, layered, and alive. For Aj, unpredictability is a necessary input for creativity, serving as a catalyst for transformation. Each of her pieces is a conversation between order and disorder, presence and absence, the seen and the not-yet-seen. Aj’s work draws upon her personal journey across cultures and geographies, while remaining universally relevant. Her colourful world is not only a reflection of her internal landscapes, but also an invitation for viewers to find their own meaning in the movement of colour and form. Aj speaks to Gulf Today
