About the work

A serene woman with closed eyes holds a flower against a richly saturated backdrop of deep reds and glowing oranges, her fragmented figure rendered in bold geometric blocks of colour. The painting radiates warmth and quiet introspection, blending figurative and semi-abstract elements in a distinctly expressive style.

About the artist

Hani Mazher — Oil on Canvas, 140 × 140 cm (representative image)
Hani Mazher

Iraq

Hani Mazhar (1955–2022) was an Iraqi artist renowned for his evocative paintings and political cartoons. Born in Iraq, he discovered his passion for painting early on and graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts in Baghdad in 1976. Facing restrictions on artistic expression under Saddam Hussein's regime, Mazhar relocated to London in 1978 to pursue his creative endeavors freely.

Mazhar's artistic journey was marked by a fusion of improvisational painting and political commentary. His works often explored themes from Sufism and reflected his experiences as a nomadic artist. He held numerous solo exhibitions worldwide, including a notable show in Tokyo, where his art received significant acclaim. In 2001, he collaborated with Japanese artist Akiko Yamaguchi in an exhibition that symbolically linked the Middle East with Europe, Asia, and Latin America, emphasizing the borderless nature of art.

In addition to his paintings, Mazhar was a prolific political cartoonist. He contributed to prominent publications such as Kuwait's "Al-Qabas" and London's "Al-Hayat," using his art to critique social and political issues. His works are held in private collections across Japan, Germany, Spain, England, Mexico, Colombia, Syria, Lebanon, and Argentina, attesting to his global impact.
