About this artwork
A vast procession unfurls across the canvas, a theater of bodies rising, collapsing, and entwining under a tide of shadow and light. The choreography of the crowd seems at once celebratory and mournful, echoing ancient friezes and modern upheavals. Within the monumental scale, the viewer is engulfed, becoming both participant and witness to the collective pulse.
Moualla composes human movement as symphony and struggle. In this piece, his figures transcend individuality, merging into a continuum of memory, ritual, and revolt. The layering of gestures reveals his fascination with how crowds both preserve and erase identity within their tide.
This Large-Scale work stands as one of Moualla’s most commanding canvases of the early 2010s. For the discerning collector, it is not simply a painting but an immersive stage, where history, resistance, and humanity converge in scale and intensity
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.
