Bio

Saadah is an artist/designer who lives and works in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. Graduated from Hiko Mizuno College in Tokyo, Japan in 2019, she has participated in some group exhibitions around the world. Her works are her identity and her true voice. She likes to express different concepts with her works by playing with colors and shapes, using untraditional materials such as plastic, foam, wood, and dry flower.   

Statement

When people ask me what my work is about, I can only answer “everything!”. My works are my voice, a powerful interpretation of my deepest thought, hidden emotion, fears, and interests, it comes from my daily life, and attempt to make sense of the world. 
 
The way I create my works is just like a child who is learning and discovering new things by playing with different materials. The process is full of wonder, discovery, and un expectation. I focus particularly on the texture, color, and details. I want people to wonder, to feel, to think, and to pay attention. I am interested in works that develop over time, that have an authentic voice, and a unique, unmistakable signature.

There are too many things in the world that divide people: religion, politics, history, and nationalism. If art is capable of anything then its finding unites us all. It does not matter who you are or who I am. We feel the same pain and feelings that link people together and the feeling is art.

Art for me is the way we exchange information about feelings and sometimes answers. It is easy to misunderstand, however, I am confident that the true deep content will be not.
