Talal Moualla

Throughout a practice that spans art criticism, painting, research, and poetry, Mualla’s writing has been published extensively in Arab and foreign press and his canvases have been exhibited throughout the Middle East and Europe. His figurative canvases feature rounded figures with exaggerated proportions. Their eyes and expressions exude emotions of fear and anxiety and their bodies are oftentimes distorted.
