“How should we consider the brilliance of our artist of multiple talents & endeavors?
Should we describe his dazzling skill as a virtuoso pianist performing Bach, Beethoven, or Chopin? or should we gaze at his prolific artistic output year after year, moving us with every brushstroke towards something beyond worldly emotions. The heart moves, the eyes delight, and the ears hear the music of a million melodies. Yes, listen carefully, and perhaps you will hear the sigh of a true human heart with all its joys and sorrows.” -Lubna Abdel Aziz
