Noura Bin Saidan
المملكة العربية السعودية - الرياض SAUDI ARABIA - RIYADH
The plastic experience of Saudi artist Noura Bin Saedan is linked to the stage of change that the country is going through in its relationship with the arts. The artist, whose works were confined to her studio, now places the friends she depicts on the walls of the most famous areas in the Saudi capital, and then moves on to new walls.
Bin Saedan owns 16 murals on Riyadh Boulevard, and she sees this as part of her responsibility in the journey of change in her homeland. She pointed out that fine art “churns and stirs the mind,” in addition to the fact that “one painting may change a thousand prevailing beliefs, and I expect that I will be able to make a change with my art.”
The story is longer than it seems
Noura, who is studying for a master’s degree in arts, devoted her thesis to the role of fine art in confronting problems in preparation for solving them. She continued, “The idea goes beyond the beauty of the artistic work and the effect of its magic on people. The most important role relates to the goals and results it achieves, in addition to that, elevating the artistic taste of society and tourism goals.” And its reflection on its surroundings and movement towards change.”
She added, "I feel that this has actually happened. I felt it through exhibitions that I held, and I was drawn to society's understanding of the various aspects of art, after art was no more than realistic drawing from a narrow point of view."
Graffiti welcome
The world has become more accepting of the art of graffiti, which is known worldwide as “the art of graffiti,” which has become a desirable art and even enjoys government support, after it was nothing more than “rioting,” even though it still carries this content in other spots. .
In addition, Noura gained wide fame after the Netherlands hosted her at the invitation of the Street Art Museum, after which she began an extended journey with graffiti.
About her experience with this art, “I started towards graffiti in the last four years. It was not that easy, but it was an intense work phase through which I emerged with a diverse artistic presence in the field of drawing murals at the level of form, content, and size. My participation within Riyadh Boulevard was like a starting point, given the size of The number and content of the contributions I made was a remarkable technical effort that gained the community’s approval and approval
A resignation
The painting of the ship during sunset heralded the beginning of her career as an artist in secondary school, and she continued, “I still keep it, and from my point of view it represents an important artistic stage, but there were subsequent experiences that affected my childhood and were the reason for the stage I reached today, including the art education class and how My paintings were admired. It was very influential. Then I started reading art and its types. Then I felt drawn to murals. My ambitions developed and I wanted to participate with my art in creating change, which was the basis of my studies for the Master’s degree.”
Frida Kahlo
I asked her if she considered herself the Arabic version of Frida Kahlo, and she initially answered me, “No,” but the reality was otherwise, because Kahlo’s pictures and prints in her studio were leaving something of her spirit in the place.
