Jude Zawaideh

Fine artist Jude Zawaideh was born in Amman, Jordan in 2001. Zawaideh captures the essence of the self in response to the physical body over time. With a focus on a contemporary figurative style, her work serves as a reflective medium that pushes towards notions of self-reflection and naturalistic exploration. Surveying her recollections of childhood, home, relationships, and family, the artist offers layered tokens of the seasons she has flourished through. Zawaideh uses watercolors as a medium that assumes the form of the physical body, underscoring its fluidity and changeability. Whereas, she uses oil paint as a means of materializing the patience it takes to understand oneself candidly. She creates enigmatic, vaguely familiar compositions that explore the multiplicity of the human experience, diving into the artists personal odyssey from childhood to selfhood. Viewers find themselves exchanging glances with subjects immersed in scenes of unexpected yet intensely introspective states.
