Past exhibition

Mohamed Khadra

Conference of the Birds

4 September – 4 October 2025

Featuring a series of oil on wood panel landscapes, the ethereal paintings of Mohamed Khadra blend a lifetime of extensive travel with the contemplative depths of mysticism. Drawing on Eastern landscape traditions, the works evoke a nostalgic journey through imagined valleys and resting places, gently inviting moments of reflection and introspection. Maintaining a delicate balance between form and emptiness, Khadra employs dreamy, energetic palettes to articulate spiritual landscapes that resonate with the human quest for wholeness.
