About the work

A pale white dove perches atop a dark, mechanically detailed rifle rendered in deep blacks and muted greys, its spread wings contrasting sharply with the weight of the weapon beneath it. The stark monochrome palette and bold, textured marks lend this print an atmosphere of tension and quiet longing for peace.

Samir Abdel Dayem (Iraq).

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.
