يسر مبادرة ألفاء دعوتكم لحضور معرضهم القادم "فاصلة منقوطة" الموافق افتتاحه ١٢ مايو. وسيكون بذلك أول معرض في بيت السلمانية وهو بوتقة جديدة تولد في قلب العاصمة لتساهم في المشهد الفني المحلي. نتمنى رؤيتكم جميعًا في الافتتاح! (اسحب للجانب للموقع) #ألفاء

Ulafa’a presents Semicolon, an exhibition of artists exploring different forms of communication and how they can be manipulated to express an ‘in-between’ of a space, place, or time.

Semicolons signify something that fits in-between; it is a stronger break than a comma, but not as final as a full stop. A link and a separation. This curved punctuation embodies the second before dawn breaks, a pause for breath, a waiting room.

Current work

Been happy lately in integration couple of techniques and mediums in pieces.

It is an opportunity to use these methods on old illustration and make something creative out of them. 

Below if one of the illustrations I brought with me to the U.S. from Bahrain.

ill be updating work more frequently here so stay tuned. 

Back to University

It has been a long summer. I've been fortunate to see friends , loved ones and invest in my art , by seeking exhibition opportunities and developing my work.  

Ive been thinking lately wither I should start a Patreon page, for both exposure and independence through art. Other than that, I've been working on some beige and teal products ( beigeandteal.com ) so soon I'll upload pictures on some ceramic work both here and on B&T website.  

Below are are close ups for a piece that will be exhibited in Birmingham in a group exhibition with my buddies from Ulaafa , a Bahraini reconciliation initiative through creativity and art.
