About the work

A nude female figure stands prominently against a bold geometric mosaic of reds, blues, and earthy tones, her gaze downward toward a small child crouching at her feet. The composition blends figurative form with Cubist fragmentation, creating a powerful tension between the human body and abstract structure.

About the artist

Saleh AlMalhi — Oil on Canvas, 360 × 180 cm (representative image)
Saleh AlMalhi

Jordan, b. 1943–2013

Saleh AlMalhi (1943–2013) was a prominent Jordanian artist recognized for his significant contributions to the development of modern art in Jordan. Working primarily in painting, AlMalhi’s oeuvre is characterized by expressive brushwork and a vibrant palette, often reflecting themes rooted in Jordanian heritage and daily life. His style evolved over the decades, blending elements of abstraction with figurative motifs, and he became known for his ability to capture the spirit of his homeland through both color and form.

Throughout his career, AlMalhi participated in numerous exhibitions at leading Jordanian institutions, including the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, where his works were featured in both solo and group shows. His art has also been included in regional exhibitions, helping to establish his reputation beyond Jordan’s borders. AlMalhi’s paintings have appeared at major auction houses such as Christie’s, where they have attracted the attention of collectors interested in modern Middle Eastern art. His legacy endures in the Jordanian art scene, where he is remembered as a pioneering figure who helped shape the country’s artistic identity during the latter half of the twentieth century.

Cubism

A revolutionary early-twentieth-century approach that fractures objects into geometric planes and multiple viewpoints at once. Arab artists such as Jamil Hamoudi adapted its geometry to calligraphic and regional themes.
