Mohanad Orabi

Syria

Mohanad Orabi is a contemporary Syrian artist, born in Damascus in 1977. He is recognized for his expressive mixed-media paintings and drawings, which often explore themes of identity, displacement, and memory, reflecting the broader experiences of the Syrian diaspora. Orabi’s distinctive style is characterized by stylized, often childlike figures rendered with bold lines and vibrant colors, sometimes layered with collage elements. His work frequently addresses the psychological impact of conflict and migration, making his art both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Orabi has exhibited internationally, with notable institutional shows including displays at the Atassi Foundation and participation in group exhibitions at venues such as the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. His works have also been featured in prominent art fairs and galleries across the Middle East and Europe. In the auction market, Orabi’s paintings have appeared at major houses such as Christie’s and Bonhams, achieving significant results and affirming his status as a leading figure among contemporary Syrian artists. His contributions continue to garner attention from collectors and institutions alike, underscoring his role in shaping the narrative of modern Arab art.
