About the work

Bold interlocking forms of a woman and a bird emerge through dense hatched linework, their abstract bodies curving and nesting together in a rhythmic, sculptural composition. The stark black and white print carries a strong expressive energy, blending figuration with abstraction in a markedly gestural style.

Mona Al Saudi (Jordan, 1945–2022).

About the artist

Mona Al Saudi — Graphic, Print Making , 40 × 53 cm (representative image)
Mona Al Saudi

Jordan, b. 1945–2022

Mona Saudi (1945–2022) was a Jordanian sculptor renowned for her abstract stone works that harmoniously blend geometric forms with organic curves. Born in Amman, she moved to Beirut at 17 to immerse herself in the city's vibrant art scene, holding her first exhibition at Café de la Presse in 1963. She later studied sculpture at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, graduating in 1973.

Saudi's sculptures, often carved from regional stones like Jordanian jade, pink limestone, and Syrian black diorite, reflect influences from ancient Levantine civilizations. Her monumental piece, "Géométrie de l’esprit" (1987), stands outside the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the only artwork permitted in the building's vicinity by architect Jean Nouvel.

Throughout her career, Saudi exhibited widely, including retrospectives at Darat al Funun in Amman (1995) and the Sharjah Art Museum (2018). Her works are held in collections such as the British Museum, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Sharjah Art Foundation.

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.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
