هي حكاية طويلة، ليست جديدة ولا وليدة اليوم، بل عمرها يمتد إلى ربع قرن وربما أكثر. كتبت كثيراً عن أبطالها وعن العلاقة العميقة القائمة بينهم، وقدّمت نماذج حيّة مدعّمة بالأدلة والبراهين القاطعة التي تؤكد أنها قصة لم تُنسج من الخيال، ولم تُبنَ على تعصب أعمى كما يظن البعض ويرميني به ظلماً، بل هي واقع حقيقي عاشه شهود ما زال بعضهم بيننا، فيما رحل آخرون إلى رحمة الله.
- مرّت كيانات، وتبدلت أسماء، وتغيرت لجان، لكن قصة «إلا حبنا» بقيت نسخة طبق الأصل، حاضرة بكل تفاصيلها، الواضحة والغامضة، ثابتة في منهجها وإن اختلفت الوجوه. ظلت متماسكة، تنمو وتترعرع في بيئة تتوالد جيلاً بعد جيل، محافظة على سماتها وركائزها تحت شعار: «أنا وبس».
- مهما كتبت، أو انتقدت، أو صرخت، تبقى الآذان صمّاء: أذن من طين وأذن من عجين. وحتى إن تجدّدت الإطارات البرّاقة، تبقى الصورة كما هي، أقرب إلى لوحة أثرية يغلب عليها لون واحد. ومع أن مساحته اتسعت في أيامنا هذه، وبدأ البعض يفضّل الانفتاح والغوص في تنوع الألوان بروح متفائلة، إلا أن الامتيازات و«الدلال» ما زالت تُمنح لبطل القصة الأزلية «إلا حبنا».
- لستُ فناناً تشكيلياً لأقدّم رأياً متخصصاً، لكن كأي إنسان أحب أن أرى الجمال في لوحة متعددة الألوان، متناسقة، بريشة رسام يملك ضميراً مرهفاً لا يمنح التمييز إلا لمن يستحقه بجهده وحضوره. وحين نرى لوحة بهذا الصفاء وذاك التوازن، نلمس مبدأً واضحاً: «لا للفروقات». الكل متساوٍ، والكل حاضر ضمن قائمة تنهي أسطورة «إلا حبنا».
- أنا على يقين أن فناناً بهذه الروح وبهذا الفكر المبدع، لو عرض لوحاته في أي محفل عالمي، لنال أرفع الجوائز، وأسر قلوب الجماهير بجمالها وتناسق ألوانها. وسيقف الزوّار مشدوهين أمام لوحاته، حائرين أيها أجمل وأيها أروع. عندها لن يكون العنوان «إلا حبنا»، بل سيكون عنواناً جديداً يحمل معنى عميقاً ونظرة شمولية: «الفن للجميع». لتبدأ حكاية مختلفة، حكاية حب جديد يولده الفن الصادق للجميع بلا استثناء.

It is a long story, not new or born today, but its age extends to a quarter of a century or perhaps more. I have written extensively about its heroes and the deep relationship that exists among them, presenting vivid examples supported by irrefutable evidence that confirms it is a story not woven from imagination, nor built on blind fanaticism as some unjustly accuse me of, but rather a true reality experienced by witnesses, some of whom are still with us, while others have passed away to the mercy of God.
- Entities have come and gone, names have changed, and committees have transformed, but the story of "Except Our Love" remains an exact replica, present in all its details, both clear and obscure, steadfast in its methodology even as faces have changed. It has remained cohesive, growing and thriving in an environment that reproduces itself from generation to generation, preserving its traits and foundations under the slogan: "Me and only me."
- No matter how much I write, criticize, or shout, the ears remain deaf: one ear of clay and one ear of dough. Even if the shiny frames are renewed, the image remains the same, closer to an ancient painting dominated by a single color. And although its space has expanded in our days, and some have begun to prefer openness and diving into a variety of colors with an optimistic spirit, the privileges and "pampering" are still granted to the hero of the eternal story "Except Our Love."
- I am not a visual artist to provide a specialized opinion, but like any human, I love to see beauty in a multi-colored, harmonious painting, created by an artist with a sensitive conscience who grants distinction only to those who deserve it through their effort and presence. When we see a painting with such clarity and balance, we touch a clear principle: "No to differences." Everyone is equal, and everyone is present within a list that ends the legend of "Except Our Love."
- I am certain that an artist with such spirit and creative thought, if they were to showcase their paintings at any global event, would win the highest awards and captivate the hearts of the audience with their beauty and color harmony. Visitors would stand in awe before their paintings, wondering which is more beautiful and which is more magnificent. At that point, the title would not be "Except Our Love," but rather a new title carrying a profound meaning and a holistic perspective: "Art for Everyone." Thus, a different story begins, a story of a new love born from sincere art for everyone without exception.
