About this artwork
Two figures entwine under a palm, their bodies sculpted in fierce strokes, suspended between passion and rupture. Set against a searing crimson ground, Adam & Eve transforms origin into agitation, love into confrontation.
Moualla reimagines humanity’s first couple not in serenity, but in turbulence. Desire, temptation, and exile are carved into their movements, exposing the eternal tension at the root of human connection.
Owning this piece is an embrace of intensity, a chance to hold in one’s collection the primal dance of creation and fracture that continues to shape the human condition
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.
