Maha Malluh is a contemporary artist born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She is greatly influenced by her spiritual connection to the historic region of Najd, with its strong religious and cultural heritage, colourful patterned fabrics, and old architecture, all elements that greatly influence her art. She has been exhibiting both in Saudi Arabia and internationally since 1976. However, unlike most artists who have been working for a long time, who tend to adopt an artistic routine, Maha continues to radically develop her practice. Her artworks examine the emblematic and cultural symbols of Saudi Arabian civilization. She has always been inspired by her country, which she defines as a land of contrasting images and ideas. Her early work used traditional canvas, on which she created collages, using local fabrics and photographic images of traditional buildings. However, over the past ten years, Maha has explored, experimented and expanded the art of the photogram. Maha’s most recent work include mixed media installations, which use found objects that can be seen as historic symbols of collective Saudi identity, amongst them are massive chinco dishes, cassette tapes of religious lectures, discarded oil barrels and metal doors typical of the region.
