Fine art was not only the result of years of study,
but it was there from his early childhood growing as his abilities and talents
growing as well
In 1961- Department of Architecture- and for the first
time, Adnan Aswad used wood to embody Motherhood Sculpture which was his first
sculpture ever
He received all the support and encouragement he
needed from his professors to complete the journey he started
Later, he met Khaled Rahhal and Mohammed Ghani Hekmet
whose both have long experience in sculpture and beauty,he
learned whatever he needed to improve his ability and capacity of sculpture
He spent the period 1965-1966 with Mohammed Ghani
Hekmet and started to participate with individual sculptures in art
exhibitions
In the year 1984 he held his first personal
exhibition
Between architecture and sculpture, Adnan Aswad the
architect finishes his works with a unique combination of contemporary
architecture and pleasant scintillating sculpture
Adnan Aswad believes that buildings are such rigid
tough masses surrounded by dynamic life and movement, so he went to sculpt the
rigidity and added a lot of life spirit over his buildings
Adnan Aswad believes that museums can’t contain
architecture
He expressed his ideas, art and sculptural ability
outside galleries, so he went to carve his buildings to embody the structural
frame clearly at his elevations or to represent ideas and stories, while
sometimes it was the dreams over there
His art works are the expressions of reflections
He carved whatever he believed in, thought of or
dreamed with
His art works are a conversation with human thought,
reflections and secrets
Each sculpture expresses the joy or pain of its event,
but still it is a part of Aswad art journey which accompanied by fantasies of
fine art lovers
