la liberté du rêve
2017
La liberté du rêve translates the freedom of dreams into visual language through sophisticated etching. Adnan captures the ephemeral quality of dreaming and imagination with poetic sensibility. The work's subtle forms and carefully rendered lines suggest psychological landscapes and inner worlds. The etching technique allows for nuanced exploration of both positive and negative space. This piece reflects the artist's deep engagement with the intersection of consciousness and artistic expression.

Artists in conversation
Paul Klee
Swiss-German · b. 1879
Klee's small scale works combine geometric abstraction with lyrical color and poetic sensibility in ways that closely mirror Adnan's leporello paintings. Both artists treat color as a primary carrier of emotional and philosophical meaning.
Sonia Delaunay
French-Ukrainian · b. 1885
Delaunay's vibrant geometric color fields and her integration of visual art with text and language resonate strongly with Adnan's practice. Both artists share a deep commitment to pure color relationships within structured abstract compositions.
Huguette Caland
Lebanese · b. 1931
Caland was a Lebanese artist of the same generation whose work bridges abstraction, sensuality, and Middle Eastern cultural identity in ways that parallel Adnan's concerns. Their shared Beirut origins and cosmopolitan trajectories make their practices deeply resonant companions.
