A rich experience

She also received many honorary certificates. 

A beautiful symphony
The "Music of the Self" exhibition presented several colour groups, each representing a complete visual ensemble. Through these, Al Mahrazi sought to present a rich colour experience that would capture the attention of those who hoped for it, relying on her strong talent and intelligent sensitivity towards colour, enabling her to create rich colour compositions with precise, harmony, like a beautiful symphony. 

Post pandemic world
The exhibition, as a whole, is the culmination of an artistic direction that the artist began during the Corona pandemic, in which she sought different compositions and new formulations, as she envisioned the world after the pandemic. In her first painting, she envisioned the world as clusters of small dots rippling in a world distributed in yellow and blue, indicating that the future of the world will be filled with energy and joy. She developed this vision through her previous paintings, and her reliance on colour expressionism, which she excels at, was one of the keys to the beauty of this experience. 

Meticulous technique
Commenting on the exhibition, Dr. Omar Abdel Aziz said that Taghreed Al Mahrazi presents a single, diverse visual sentence, saturated with colours and musical harmony, and represents a complex experience of embodiment and abstraction, impression and symbolism, simplicity and composition, miniature, decoration and engraving, with good handling of light and shadow. He added that Al Mahrazi work was a visual polyphony system, through which she wanted to challenge herself as an artist, and bring out what was inside her in a beautiful expression. It was truly the music of her own self, imprinted with harmony and consistency. He explained that the artist relied on acrylic colours and tried to suggest the technique of watercolour painting, and this is one of the strengths of acrylic when the artist masters its handling. She benefited from the space and free flow techniques. In a word, the exhibition is a single visual sentence presented through multiple color series.
