Soraya Abu Naba’a is well-known for her studious and inspired nature, surprising everyone by her enormous capacity for work and a lifelong interest in research. She is always willing to embrace new and challenging artistic designs, as is demonstrated in her exhibit “Interceptación de un Momento” (Interception of a Moment), at the National Gallery of Fine Arts.

From the time of her early works and public appearances, Soraya Abu Naba’a has shown an unusual personality in contemporary Dominican art, though unassuming in spite of her skills and the means that she has had available to her. Right from the outset, she developed an aptitude for reflection, change and evolution, which are quite uncommon and compelling: the awards received at the E. León Jimenes Competition and the National Biennial of Visual Arts, have been irrefutable omens.

The collective exhibitions in which she has participated and her successive solo exhibitions, have confirmed her “passion” for art, delving in drawing and painting, and adding to it an experimentation that pushes forward with decision and authority, even ruling out restraint. Soraya formulates, envisions and launches herself forward!

Thus, she defies common drawing and painting techniques, breaking with the Hegelian beauty and producing another -disturbing and seductive- beauty. However, she retains the academic demands… a dominated anatomy and rigorous proposal, a stealth process and a final clarity, with a really different finish!

We observe how her graphic compositions are a prelude to paintings that combine the aesthetic value, the psychological study, and the social awareness. Within her originality, she introduces colors and other structural components in various formats and levels, by combining a sensitive geometry and formal fluidity up to a very personal baroque style…

Soraya Abu Naba’a has been able to evolve as contemporary, plural and multifaceted artist to venture into installations, moving images and photography, with happy results. This great exhibition, which unfolds generously in realms of the dome, modules and modes of an amazing but controlled fantasy, is well suited to a temperament and talent of the 21st century.
