Alia Al Farsi (b. 1972, Muttrah) "Each of them has a story" (2019)
190 x 280 x 7 cm.
-
The stretched and colourful vibrant women seem like they are walking on an unknown road. This painting resembles a collection of dissimilar stories of women that the artist came across in a short period of time. The red and orange strokes dominate the edges of the piece as a result of the artist’s emotional reaction to what women go through to achieve their goals
1972 Muscat, Oman
Born in the culturally rich town of Muttrah, Alia was imbued to become an avid explorer and culturist to an affinity for historic towns. She says that she is a non-believer in self-imposition of stylistic boundaries, she takes her inspiration from patterns and vernacular architecture.
