This painting shows a woman dancing in a bright green dress, full of joy and excitement. She has reached a big dream or made an important decision, but she is not alone. Two shadowy figures dance with her—one representing fear, the other uncertainty.
This artwork captures the feelings that come with big life moments—the happiness of moving forward and the worry of the unknown, all dancing together.
This artwork was inspired by the emotions I felt—and that I believe every Syrian felt—when the revolution triumphed, and the dictator Bashar Al-Assad fled. It captures the overwhelming mix of joy, relief, and the lingering shadows of fear and uncertainty that come with such a historic moment.
This is the biggest artwork I’ve ever painted, measuring 24×30 inches. It’s acrylic on a stretched canvas and is a bold statement piece that captures the feelings of a nation. You can own this one-of-a-kind artwork here for $3,000.
The woman in the painting, wearing a bright green dress, symbolizes the green flag of the Syrian revolution and the happiness of victory. She’s dancing with joy, celebrating freedom after all the pain and struggle. But she’s not alone. You can see two other figures around her. These figures represent her other emotions—worry, fear, and uncertainty.
While she’s happy that the revolution has won, she’s also scared of what’s next. She doesn’t know what the future holds, and she’s afraid of a counter-revolution or new struggles that might come. It’s a moment full of mixed feelings—joy, relief, fear, and hope all at once.
When I created this painting, I was thinking about how I felt watching the news of Syria being free for the first time. I was happy, even jumping and dancing with excitement. But at the same time, I felt nervous about the unknown future. What happens next? What challenges will Syria face?
This painting is about those emotions. It’s about freedom and how it brings both celebration and questions. It’s a reminder that every victory comes with challenges, but it’s still worth celebrating the moment of hope.
