Fahd Burki's practice is concerned with a vocabulary of symbols, forms and compositions that have, over the years, moved between non-representational and figurative. Without predefined ideas, Burki's creative process is intuitively marked with repetition, symmetry and intervals. The compositions are playfully crafted with lines, geometric forms, grids and blank spaces.
