Said Elatab, Arab American painter & photographer who considers himself the epileptic painter, always risking his life to work the best shots. Said has painted while experiencing vision loss and head-banging pain from his epilepsy.
Elatab, in art history aspires to be like the great Princes in the world of Painting. One would be Vincent Van Gogh
Said’s strength is in his drawings and fixation of creating an active drawing of the painful women in his past life. Like Van Gogh who lost a ear, Elatab love for art is has the same value as his life. This is a part of his unique style. Some pieces of his art have been found to be culturally offensive because of the nudity. He runs the gambit in history from a famous photographer to mad genius painter.
Elatab has made his own brilliance and vibrancy achievements using his epilepsy and mad character. He gives his canvases a gentle radiance for ladies, and then he burns the mad creation as part of his pain and desire to display his dedication and love for his drawings. Said’s art sometimes speaks with burning oils and musk to candle. Then art becomes a sacrifice through pain. ”I always ask myself, is it reviving the feelings , or a sense of anger smoldering?!!” said Said.
His expression of middle eastern experiences are found to be relatable by the many customers who follow his art exhibits and continuously make known their love for his work; be it photographer or paintings. More on Said Elatab
