Biography

Lulua Alyahya is a Saudi artist whose paintings draw on references from many worlds to explore culturally embedded archetypes — notably masculinity, youth and beauty — with tenderness, humour and a critical edge. Moving between memory, imagination and physical and psychological landscapes, her work creates spaces that feel at once familiar and elusive. She has taken part in residencies internationally, and her Artist's Room at Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai — bringing together new commissions, loans and works from the Art Jameel Collection — marked her first solo exhibition in the United Arab Emirates.
