About this artwork
In a whirl of color, bodies entwine as if time itself were dancing, generations folding into each other, past and future circling in luminous embrace. The hues shift from fiery reds to spectral violets, evoking the eternal cycle of becoming, decay, and renewal.
Ahmad Moualla created Alternation of Ages as a reflection on the continuum of human existence. Here, life is not linear but circular, each movement charged with echoes of ancestors and intimations of descendants. The figures become vessels of history and possibility.
For the collector, this work embodies timelessness itself, a reminder that to live is to stand at once in the footsteps of those before us and in the gaze of those yet to come.

A painter, graphic designer, and professor, he studied at Damascus University and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Moualla’s significance extends to the global art market, with his works featured in major auctions at Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
