About this artwork
A tempest of figures surges through the canvas, their bodies caught between shadow and radiance. The upper half glows in gold and crimson, echoing fire and sun, while the lower half dissolves into turbulent blues and whites like crashing seas. Together, they evoke a world in upheaval divine light colliding with human struggle.
Painted in 2010, this work reveals Moualla’s early preoccupation with collective movement and the drama of existence. Rather than fixed portraits, the figures emerge as waves of humanity, layered and blurred, their gestures universal. This abstraction suggests both the timelessness of ritual and the unpredictability of fate.
Owning this Untitled piece is to hold a fragment of Moualla’s prophetic vision—an artwork that embodies the raw energy of transition, bridging the intimate and the epic, the personal and the political.
About the Artist
Ahmad Moualla (b. 1958, Banyas, Syria) is one of the most influential figures in contemporary Syrian art. A painter, graphic designer, and professor, he studied at Damascus University and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Known for his large-scale, theatrical canvases that blend expressive figures with Arabic calligraphy, Moualla’s work explores themes of identity, memory, and power with striking emotional intensity.
His paintings have been exhibited widely across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, and are part of prestigious institutional and private collections. Moualla’s significance extends to the global art market, with his works featured in major auctions at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. As a pioneer who introduced performance into Syrian visual art, he continues to shape the region’s cultural landscape with vision and depth.
