About the work

A striking portrait of a woman wearing a white headscarf emerges from a vivid red and yellow background, her gaze calm and composed. Below her, sweeping Arabic calligraphy rendered in burnt orange dances across a deep black field, scattered with small diamond shapes in a spectrum of colours.

Jamal Aqel (Jordan, 1969–present).

About the artist

Jamal Aqel — Acrylic on flix, 94 × 195 cm (representative image)
Jamal Aqel

Jordan, b. 1969

Jamal Aqel (جمال عقل), born in 1969 in Jordan, is a contemporary artist recognized for his contributions to the Jordanian and regional art scenes. Aqel’s practice spans painting and mixed media, often exploring themes rooted in local culture and personal narrative. His works are characterized by expressive brushwork and a vibrant palette, reflecting both modernist influences and a deep engagement with his heritage.

Aqel has exhibited in several notable institutions across the Middle East, including group and solo exhibitions at the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman. His participation in regional biennials and art fairs has further established his reputation among collectors and critics. While his works have been featured in prominent galleries, there is no verified record of auction sales at major international houses such as Christie’s, Sotheby’s, or Bonhams as of the latest available data.

Jamal Aqel continues to live and work in Jordan, contributing to the country’s dynamic contemporary art landscape. His art remains sought after by collectors interested in Middle Eastern modern and contemporary movements, and his influence is evident among a new generation of Jordanian artists.

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.

Calligraphic Abstraction

Also known as Hurufiyya, this movement reimagines Arabic letters as pure abstract form — a defining current of modern Arab art that fuses centuries of calligraphic heritage with contemporary abstraction.
