Feelings are conveyed by features, and eyes translate the language of feelings to spread many words silently, so that the eyes’ speech may be more eloquent than all letters, and so that silence is the novel that contains a thousand stories and anecdotes.
This is how the plastic artistic creations appeared in the first personal exhibition of the plastic artist Khadija Al-Rubaie, which was held last week at Nayla Gallery in Riyadh.
A long artistic career that began in childhood and culminated in the first success through the honors obtained by the plastic artist Khadija Al-Rubaie with a bachelor’s degree in art education in 2001 from King Saud University. She continues her artistic career after that, increases her culture, develops her creativity, and begins participating with group plastic exhibitions within the Kingdom. Outside of it, she participated in a number of competitions and won many awards, perhaps the most notable of which is the Dia Aziz Award for Portrait in 2019, in first place.
Khadija Al-Rubai culminated her career with her first personal exhibition, which was the largest launch that gathered dozens of works that dealt with the same topic, so that stillness was the language of speech.
Khadija Al-Rubi says about her exhibition: (,,,, and you closed an eye,,,
There are many feelings in our features, a journey through feelings drawn on our features, and we live with them.
Perhaps you and I are haunted by these feelings and remain confused about the details of life
A sidewalk, a street, a key, a café or a chair without legs, a window in a door, warmth in the winter, and perhaps bright sunshine when it rains.
With tears on her lips, she smiled mysteriously like the Mona Lisa
And I closed my eyes...)
The exhibition included dozens of works that dealt with the female as a main element of all the works, and that the female spoke through each painting about different feelings and various sensations, so that the languages of the body and the eyes were the ones who spoke about what was going on in those works, so that it was pride and pride at times, and sadness at times, or trust, or isolation, or love, or other things. Lots and lots of emotions sometimes.
This exhibition is distinguished by the artistic style that the artist Khadija Al-Rubaie achieved after her artistic career, and documents a distinctive experience that is added to the Saudi plastic arts renaissance in the current era in light of the support of our blessed leadership represented by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his faithful Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, may God protect them. She put the summary of her previous experiences into this experiment and finished it with a different work to be the beginning of a new experience that may mature soon.
