The collection presented entitled “Torn” – which will be exclusively exhibited in Beirut by Gallery Hiba on the 13^th of October 2018 – is a reflection of a new artistic approach  consisting of 20 vibrant artistic paintings. These artworks, presented by Issa on medium square dimensions, were an expression of the artist’s torn inner feelings. In his work, several ideas are portrayed that reflect Issa’s artistic perspective. These ideas include the artist’s sense of belonging, his artistic freedom and the reality of his artwork. He also presents a physical and geographical dimension to his dreams and ambitions away from his homeland, and the sense of connection he has with his roots, and his constant feeling of longing for his motherland.
