Family Portrait Series, 2019

Mohannad Orabi

Dominated by vivacious childlike ﬁgures in various scenarios, Mohannad Orabi’s previous paintings reﬂect his interest in the spontaneity of process and the liberation of form that emerges when art is created intuitively without ﬁxed directives. Many of these mixed media canvases were painted as self-portraits, revealing the artist’s fascination with the evolution of consciousness in childhood and the wonder and whimsy of the formative years that ﬁrst shape our comprehension of the world.
