“I have a deep appreciation for art, the scent of oil paints, the chaos of a well-used paintbrush, and the final form of a painting I couldn't quite bring to life. I cherish every aspect of it, all of it.” I recall a moment when I posed a question to a gallery owner: what is art? He replied, I could write a book! At that time, I wasn't entirely sure what the answer was, but now I can confidently say that art is an endless journey filled with certainty and uncertainty, a path of revealing and concealing, a perpetual experiment in discovering the most precise way to express emotions. It serves as a universal language made up of shapes and colors. Now, I am prepared to bid farewell to Vajjaz; that name was the ideal cocoon for my transformation. No longer will I use a nickname; I wish to be recognized by my true name, Fahad Limwayjid. I feel that the moment has come to transition into my first art phase, until colors find their way back to me. To everyone who possesses a Vajjaz, I kindly request that you take good care of it. This will be the last time I sign that name, which is why I have titled this painting (The Last Vajjaz).
