About the work

A traditionally dressed Arab horseman in a golden robe and white keffiyeh gallops confidently on a chestnut Arabian horse, rifle slung over his shoulder. Palm trees and a sun-baked mud structure frame the lively scene, rendered in loose, fluid watercolor washes that capture movement and warm desert light.

About the artist

Mohyee Khalifah — Watercolour on paper, 44 × 33 cm (representative image)
Mohyee Khalifah

Iraq

Mohi Khalifa (1956–2024) was an Iraqi artist renowned for his expressive realism and deep engagement with local themes. Born in Baghdad, he developed an early passion for art, drawing inspiration from his surroundings and the rich cultural heritage of Iraq. Khalifa's work often depicted scenes of Baghdad's neighborhoods, traditional crafts, and the daily lives of its people, capturing the essence of Iraqi society. His paintings frequently featured Arabian horses, reflecting his admiration for their significance in Iraqi culture.

Educated at the Institute of Fine Arts and later at the College of Fine Arts in Baghdad, Khalifa was mentored by prominent artists, including Faiq Hassan. Throughout his career, he participated in numerous exhibitions, both locally and internationally. Notably, in 2012, he held his eighth solo exhibition at the Hall of the Department of Fine Arts, showcasing over 60 oil paintings and sketches that emphasized local realism. Beyond painting, Khalifa contributed to children's literature by illustrating and designing over fifty covers for children's stories and numerous comic strips. He also ventured into sculpture, creating works such as a statue in Kadhimiya and a mural for a hotel facade.

Khalifa's commitment to humanitarian causes was evident when two of his paintings were auctioned in Germany in 1994 and 1998, with proceeds directed toward purchasing medicine for children affected by the sanctions on Iraq. His dedication to art and society left a lasting impact on the Iraqi art scene. Mohi Khalifa passed away on December 2, 2024, after a battle with illness.
