About the work

Three veiled women draped in boldly striped orange and red robes gather around a small child, their angular, expressive forms rendered in a deeply emotive style. The composition conveys quiet dignity and collective strength, with teal undertones contrasting against the warm, dominant hues.

About the artist

Mamdouh Qashlan — Oil on Canvas, 80 × 100 cm (representative image)
Mamdouh Qashlan

Syria, b. 1929

Mamdouh Qashlan (ممدوح قشلان), born in Damascus, Syria in 1929, is a prominent Syrian painter recognized for his vibrant and expressive works that often reflect the cultural and historical richness of his homeland. Qashlan’s artistic practice spans painting and drawing, with a style characterized by bold color palettes and dynamic compositions that blend elements of Syrian heritage with modernist sensibilities. His oeuvre frequently explores themes of daily life, folklore, and the architectural landscapes of Damascus, contributing to the visual narrative of 20th-century Syrian art.

Qashlan’s works have been exhibited in major institutions across the Arab world and internationally, including notable showings at the National Museum in Damascus and participation in group exhibitions representing Syrian art abroad. His paintings have also appeared in significant auctions, with records at leading houses such as Christie’s, where his works have attracted attention from collectors interested in modern Middle Eastern art. As a foundational figure in Syrian modernism, Mamdouh Qashlan’s legacy is marked by both his artistic output and his influence on subsequent generations of Syrian artists.
