Pamela Hourani

Five O'clock

My painting is an expression of my vision of the world, is neither realism nor abstract. It creates an ambiguity which invites the viewer to participate in its truth, as all truths are valid. I attempt to discard expectation and allow a painting to happen, to appear. The pleasure in the unexpected is enormous.
A sentiment to which I aspire in the illusive search for honesty, is expressed in a work by e e cummings. Here is an extract:

bq.Almost anyone can learn to think or believe or know,
But not a single human being can be taught to feel.
Why? Because whenever you think or you believe, or you know,
Youre a lot of other people;
But the moment you feel, youre nobody but yourself.
