About the work

A dominant dark oval mass swirls within concentric golden rings against a warm amber background, surrounded by scattered droplets and organic lines that evoke a cosmic or geological landscape. The composition pulses with energy, balancing deep blacks against rich golden and brown tones in a textured, expressive interplay.

About the artist

Hilda Hiary — Oil on a wooden chair, 54 × 156 cm (representative image)
Hilda Hiary

Jordan, b. 1969

Hilda Hiary (born 1969, Amman, Jordan) is a prominent contemporary artist recognized for her vibrant paintings, installations, and mixed-media works. Her practice is characterized by bold colors, expressive forms, and a focus on social and political themes, particularly those relating to women's experiences and regional conflicts. Hiary’s visual language often blends figuration and abstraction, drawing on personal narratives and collective memory to explore issues of identity, displacement, and resilience.

Hiary has exhibited widely in reputable institutions across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Notable exhibitions include solo and group shows at the National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman, the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, and the Venice Biennale, where she participated in collateral events. Her work has also been featured in exhibitions at the Katzen Arts Center at American University in Washington, D.C., and the Cairo Biennale. Hiary's art has attracted attention in the secondary market, with her paintings appearing at major auction houses such as Christie's, reflecting her growing international profile and the increasing demand for contemporary Middle Eastern art. She continues to live and work in Amman, contributing significantly to the cultural landscape of Jordan and the broader region.

Acrylic

A fast-drying, water-based paint developed in the twentieth century. Versatile and vivid, it can mimic oil or watercolor and suits bold, flat color — a favourite of many contemporary artists across the region.

Abstract Expressionism

A postwar movement built on spontaneous, gestural abstraction and broad fields of color, conveying feeling without recognizable subjects. Its freedom shaped many Arab modernists exploring abstraction in their own visual language.
