About Zaha Hadid

I grew up at a time when constructivism in architecture played a dominant role. With the exception of the masterpieces created in this style, only monotonous dwelling houses boxes with rectangular shapes could be seen around. . In my dreams new forms began to arise with fluent  lines and not having sharp outlines.  I began to embody the dreams of a new architecture in my early paintings. I pictured fantastic shapes with curved lines.  At the same time, I had no intention to become an architect. I intuitively felt the new trend, the emergence of a new style in architecture.
When I saw images of buildings created by Zaha Hadid's project, I understood that this  remarkable woman realized my dreams. She was described by the The Guardian of London as the 'Queen of the curve', who "liberated architectural geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity "
 It was the embodiment and symbol of a new trend of non-constructivism.  I suppose, the birth in Iraq and the culture of the eastern country, despite the European and American education, played an important role. I have always noted that the Middle Eastern traditional art of Iraq and Iran is distinguished by a special refinement of form and color. The architecture of Zaha Hadid is the embodiment of my dream about the architecture of the future.

Here are my paintings
