The article discusses the "Quantum Realism" theory introduced by Iraqi visual artist Mahmoud Sabri in 1971. This theory advocates drawing inspiration from the laws of modern physics—especially quantum physics—to create a new artistic language that relies on expressing energy and movement through lines, colors, and geometric forms rather than traditional realistic depiction. It asserts that reality is not limited to what the eye can see but extends beyond to encompass the complex network of transformations and energies within the atomic world. Art, according to this view, conveys this invisible quantum reality through colors and shapes. The theory believes that art should serve as a profound means of understanding, going beyond decoration and beauty to reveal the underlying laws of existence that are unseen to the naked eye. Despite its limited dissemination, the theory is considered a serious and innovative attempt to bridge science and art. It calls for rethinking the function of art and its relationship with scientific knowledge, emphasizing that modernity is not exclusive to the West and that art should contribute to generating new knowledge in tandem with contemporary scientific developments.
