About Artist:
I am Hoor ul Ain. I am a Year 6 student and eleven years old. I love to participate in art competitions, and I have participated in all competitions held till now. I got support from my parents and school to participate. I am inspired by the colours and the textures of nature in all my artwork. I believe that art is not only a form of entertainment; it is a way in which we can express our feelings, thoughts, and creativity. I do a lot of experiments in art to improve my artworks. I am interested in all art mediums.
Artist Statement:
.
This painting explores the subjective experience of time through a still life imbued with vibrant colour and tactile texture. A whimsical clock, its face playfully imprecise, anchors the composition, symbolising time’s fluid nature rather than its rigid measurement. Wilting flowers and a ripe apple suggest the ephemeral, while a solid vase and table offer a sense of grounding.
The impasto technique emphasises the physicality of the paint, creating a textured surface that invites touch and mirrors the layered nature of memory. Warm, earthy tones contrast with vibrant blues and oranges, reflecting the interplay between past and present, solidity and fleeting moments.
The clock’s simplified form and the slightly naive rendering of objects underscore the personal, emotional connection we have with time, how it stretches and compresses in our perception. This piece invites contemplation on our own relationship with time’s passage, finding beauty and showing the enduring presence of objects that hold our memories.
