About the work

A boldly painted figure lifts a child overhead with outstretched hands, their intertwined forms rendered in sweeping strokes of purple, red, and blue against a warm golden ochre background. The expressive brushwork conveys a powerful sense of motion, tenderness, and joyful energy.

Working primarily in painting, AlAqel’s oeuvre is characterized by vibrant color palettes and expressive forms, often drawing on themes rooted in Yemeni heritage and daily life.
