Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The vibrant painting features bold colors and shapes, depicting a seductive female figure in a provocative pose.

The artist employs a distinctive pop art technique, blending figurative elements with bold, graphic text in Arabic script, creating a visually striking and culturally charged composition. This work likely comments on themes of sexuality, gender, and cultural identity, reflecting the artist's intention to challenge societal norms and conventions. ...

B.1983, Qatari/American

Sophia Al-Maria is a Qatari-American artist, writer, and filmmaker living and working in London. Though her work spans many disciplines including drawing, film and screen-writing for TV, it is united by a preoccupation with the power of storytelling and myth, and in particular with imagining revisionist histories and alternative futures. With her friend and collaborator Fatima Al Qadiri, Al-Maria coined the term “Gulf Futurism” to describe the growing atomisation of individuals and the shifting ground of urban planning, aesthetics, and media, and their impact on everyday life in the post-oil Persian Gulf. Her cinematic artist’s videos are fuelled by the combination of critical rigour with an affective charge in their explorations of language, imperialism, and counter-histories – a deep investigation and dramatisation of the sociopolitical, economic, and environmental present. ...
