Expert Bio

 

A pioneer in Saudi Arabia’s contemporary art movement, Lulwah Al Hamoud is celebrated for an intricate process that uses Arabic letters to form absorbingly complex abstract works on paper. 

Born in Riyadh, Al Hamoud studied sociology at King Saud University before receiving a master’s degree from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design (formerly known as the Central School of Art and Design) in London. She trained with distinguished Pakistani calligrapher Rasheed Butt, and her work is inspired by the renowned Egyptian calligrapher Ahmed Moustafa. Lulwah Al Hamoud lives and works between Saudi Arabia and the UK.
