Ghada Al Muhammedi
b. 1987, Saudi Arabia

Ghada Al Muhammedi seeks to narrate her unique interpretation of Arabic culture and architectural heritage, bringing to life the rich symbolism embedded within them. Drawing inspiration from the Old Masters, including Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, her paintings blend vibrant color and expressive brushwork to evoke a deep sense of romance and poetic reflection. Through her art, Ghada explores the nuanced and evolving journeys of the modern Arab woman, weaving personal and cultural narratives into each composition.

Since 2011, Ghada has held multiple solo exhibitions throughout Saudi Arabia, establishing herself as a significant voice in the contemporary art scene. In addition, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Kingdom, gaining recognition for her distinctive style and thought-provoking themes.
