Memoir of Places
An ongoing series of paintings by Khadija El Sharawy.
Memoir of Places is an ongoing series of paintings about the places that stay with me long after I leave them. I return to spaces I have experienced and paint them as they remain in my memory. Some details stay vivid, others fade, and color becomes more intense than reality.
Each work is titled after the place and the time of the moment it remembers. Together, the paintings form a growing archive of places not exactly as they were, but as they have stayed with me.
I remember best in color.
