About the work

A luminous cyan X dominates the centre of an ornately bordered frame set against a deep teal and black ground, its bold mark contrasting sharply with the intricate floral etching that surrounds it. The layered composition blends decorative tradition with stark symbolic gesture, creating a brooding and enigmatic mood.

Mohammad Al-Atiq (Qatar, 1966–present).

About the artist

Printmaking

Images made by transferring ink from a prepared surface — etching, lithography, screenprint, woodcut — usually in limited editions. Iraqi artists such as Rafa Nasiri helped make printmaking a serious modern art form across the Arab world.

Conceptual Art & Installation

Art where the idea matters most, often realized as immersive installations or works in space rather than traditional objects. A growing field for contemporary artists across the Middle East and North Africa.
