The exhibition, was a part of the activities of the Jordanian city of culture 2017, AL Mafraq, it was included many paintings representing the abstract expression paintings and focusing on horses that symbolize strength, powers and dreams.

Horses in Azizieh’s Paintings represents Strength, swiftness, majestic beauty, dedication and at the same time — sensitivity and vulnerability… What an amazing creature! Horses are one of the first objects of fine art, depicted in cave paintings, and used in numerous sculptures. Horses have been considered sacred animals from ancient times. They are associated with fertility and connected with omens, sorcerers and pagan deities. Many people drew inspiration from the external beauty of these animals, but they also felt something else — the element of freedom hidden under the mane.
Just as simplicity and depth met in the work, it also met with lightness and weight in terms of the contrast that gives the work its uniqueness. The work is made up of layers of paper that make the work light compared to other materials, but the first look makes the recipient delude that the work represents a sculptural body of heavy solid materials, and a source Conjecture is the mastery of the details and the shape in which the sculpture is placed, and the shape of its balanced sitting that suggests weight.
