(Ref No 466)

The late Mohamed Awad returns to the elemental palette of his mature abstraction — ochres, umbers, and deep siennas — tones that evoke both the warmth of the land and the weight of remembrance. The surface pulsates with layered brushwork, alternating between solidity and dissolution, echoing the artist’s meditation on time and terrain. The bold, grounded geometry anchors the composition, yet within it, small passages of blue and white introduce moments of transcendence — visual metaphors for hope, breath, and renewal. This dialogue between mass and light reflects Awad’s profound ability to weave the material and the metaphysical into one visual continuum. “Earth Memory” thus stands as both a tribute to the enduring landscape of the Arab world and a personal meditation on memory, loss, and belonging — an eloquent close to a journey that was always spiritual as much as painterly.
