About Us

Amal Al-Aathem’s exquisitely raw mixed media paintings have a lot to say – and yet they speak in riddles, remaining mysterious, and deliberately so. For hers is a milieu of pattern and poetry, symbolism and struggle, individual identity and a complex cultural tradition that both inspires and defines. In her simultaneously rough and sophisticated compositions one encounters expressive abstract gestures that convey powerful emotion, even as this same vigorous abstraction functions as elements of the very landscapes and figures it inhabits and surrounds. In this way, her imagery itself and the specific ways in which it is rendered to the surface both have active roles to play in extending her message of sublimated power and the agitated heart.

She began eagerly to participate as a Qatari artist raises her questions in all her exhibitions, which contains her concerns and reflections with perseverance in the development of herself at the cultural and scientific levels. She even engaged in international exhibitions and achievements of Arab and European museums, which created a new reference in her work. Seeing the human achievement, Al-Aathem has become one of the well-known artist at the Gulf art community for which many writings have been written about.
