Thuraya Al-Baqsami

Kuwait, b. 1952

Thuraya Al-Baqsami (ثريا البقصمي), born in 1952 in Kuwait, is a prominent Kuwaiti artist and writer recognized for her significant contributions to contemporary Arab art. Working across painting, printmaking, and illustration, Al-Baqsami’s practice is distinguished by its vibrant color palettes and expressive, often narrative-driven compositions. Her works frequently explore themes of identity, womanhood, and cultural heritage, drawing on personal and collective histories within the Gulf region. Al-Baqsami is also known for her literary output, having published several books and illustrated stories, further cementing her influence in both visual and literary arts.

Al-Baqsami’s art has been exhibited widely in reputable institutions, including the Sharjah Art Museum and the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, as well as in numerous international biennials and group exhibitions across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Her works are held in major public and private collections, reflecting her status as a leading figure in the Kuwaiti and Arab art scenes. At auction, Al-Baqsami’s pieces have appeared at major houses such as Christie’s and Bonhams, where her prints and paintings have attracted collectors interested in modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art. Her enduring career continues to inspire new generations of artists in the region and beyond.
