Appearance | መልክ

Surafel's art is a symbolic discourse that connects his inner spirituality with the external world. Influenced by the geometry and symbolism found in the material and spiritual world, he believes these convey the relationship between the invisible forces that are among us. Surafel's work aim to question the nuances of faith and religion, often using animals and insects to represent the purity and intricacy of the divine.  
                                                                                                                                                                                               He sees his art as a living expression of his spiritual journey, his search for the appearance/መልክ of his creator. Each face he paints representing a fragment of a larger whole - a collection that signifies the diversity and unity of human and divine experience. His quest for God's appearance reflects an effort to find divinity in every being that resonates at a high spiritual frequency.

Each piece offers an exploration between these forces inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries within our universe.
