Hamza describes his work as an expressive response to his immediate surroundings. His work took a prominent shift in 2020 as a result of COVID19, where he observed his own self in an enclosed space and began to create portraits as close to his truest self as possible. He developed this narrative by capturing his own photographs and transforming them into oil paintings, focusing on the intricacies and individuality of human anatomy. In his form of self portraits, he found himself straying away from his facial features and gravitated towards the particularities of his hands and feet to capture the language of his gestures. His work follows a sense of darkness and gloom which he says could be an unconscious expression of his state of mind at the time of producing this series of work.
Note: This is an unframed painting.
