About the work

A crowd of human figures bearing animal heads — horse, antelope, donkey, parrot, pig, and rabbit — gather together in contemporary dress, their everyday postures rendered with quiet absurdity. The scene blends social observation with surrealist imagery, creating an unsettling yet compelling commentary on human society.

About the artist

Layan Al-khawaldeh — Pastel and watercolor , 100 × 80 cm (representative image)
Layan Al-khawaldeh

Jordan

Layan Al-Khawaldeh is a Jordanian artist known for her vocal performances in traditional Arabic music. In August 2010, she began her musical career with a series of concerts during Ramadan at the Hakawati Tent in Amman Sham Hotel, where she performed classic songs by renowned artists such as Umm Kulthum, Fairuz, and Warda Al-Jazairia.

At that time, Al-Khawaldeh was a first-year psychology student at the University of Jordan. She released notable works including "Tal Ghyabak," written by Omar Sari and composed by Nader Mutee, and a new rendition of "Anta Al-Hob," arranged by Khaled Mustafa. Her talent was recognized and supported by Plan B, a leading Jordanian music company.

As of August 2025, there is limited publicly available information regarding Al-Khawaldeh's recent artistic activities or market milestones.

Mixed media

Works combining two or more materials — paint, collage, found objects, text, sand — in a single piece. The approach lets artists layer meaning and material, and is widely used in modern and contemporary MENA art.

Surrealism

Art of the dream and the unconscious, juxtaposing unexpected images to unsettle reason and reveal the irrational. Several Arab modernists embraced its imaginative freedom and symbolism.
