Abdulrahman Alsoliman
Untitled, 2013
This abstract painting by Saudi artist Abdulrahman Alsoliman blends bold geometric forms and contrasting colors to evoke architectural elements and explore themes of memory, place, and identity. The use of turquoise, black, and orange reflects his signature style and connection to the cultural heritage of AlAhsa.
Alsoliman's work here presents a powerful abstract composition dominated by geometric forms and a bold contrast between black and turquoise blue, with touches of orange and green. The vertical divisions evoke architectural or urban structures, referencing traditional Arabian Gulf architecture in contrast to modern cityscapes. The use of color and layered texture adds depth and suggests a dialogue between memory, place, and identity — themes common in Alsoliman's broader body of work, which often reflects on the cultural heritage of AlAhsa and the evolving Saudi landscape.
