Ciby’s works are inspired by his meditative trance experiences from chanting and spirituality. He is fascinated by the pedagogy and devotion of the Syrian tradition, and paints vivid portraits from his memories. The mastery over medium is an asset of this set of works. Ciby's works are layered with colours which one observes as one enters the painting beyond surface, and enjoy the colours that greys are made up of.
