About this artwork

In vibrant shades of blue, figures rise like echoes of rhythm and devotion. Between their gestures, the pulse of music and the pull of desire collide, creating a choreography of longing suspended between two forces of love,  spiritual and earthly, eternal and fleeting.

Ahmad Moualla conceived Between Two Loves as a meditation on the duality of passion. With drummers and dancers rendered in flowing lines, the painting becomes a stage where the conflict and harmony of two different loves play out,  one grounded in ritual, the other in human intimacy.

To collect this piece is to hold both intensity and tenderness at once, a work that hums with rhythm and resonates with the deepest contradictions of the human heart.
