You Are Your Own Home | Solo Show

7 - 11 June 2023 | Cromwell Place

Mays Al Moosawi (b. 1994 Muscat, Oman). A visual artist whose work spans painting, digital, and sculpture. Her work has been featured in exhibitions around the Arabian Peninsula and wider region - including Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Her focus on the female figure as her signature subject matter stems from her observations of the communities of women in the society she was raised in. Through a lens of vulnerability, she has a focus on depicting the connections of women in private spaces. Mays' production is characterised as spontaneous and in the moment creations guided by her emotional state of mind.

“I create to find my voice. Painting is a language that is hard to express by words. Most of my artworks have female figures, which represents the society of women I was raised in, since an early age I was always surrounded by women, hearing their stories and insecurities had a huge impact on me growing up.”

Mays’s show is sponsored by a private arts patron.

Mays is represented by Emergeast.
