JDEED x UMOCA | MUSAED AL HULIS

I started out with local participations in some of the group exhibitions within Saudi Arabia, but the actual start was through the Athr gallery , where I had the opportunity to show the first artwork I have done (Dynamic) at Art Dubai in 2012. International participants then took part in more than 20 international exhibitions. My first personal exhibition was held in Berlin in 2014 in ABC with the organization and coordination of the Gallery impact. My second Personal Exhibition (Mihrab) was held in Sharjah in 2015.

My last work was the seven places of prostration, and how it deals with the effect of prayer on the general behavior of the Muslim as well as how the prayer should leave a spiritual and not physical effect on people in the everyday life.

The sleep of the wicked is a cult, one of the most famous sayings in the Arab countries, spoken to the despot and oppressed in darkness. Through the raw materials used and the form of work, the recipient can relate to what he saw. I tried to use the sponge/matress with the form of an Islamic Mihrab to link sleep and worship as well as a popular cloth called Shalki which was used to link the work with local culture and folk language.

The truth is that I have no specific material in my work and I always try to come up with different and new materials. It is important to have a correlation between the raw materials and the idea of ​​working to reach the recipient. I am sure that the raw materials are not exclusive to anyone and can be addressed by more than one artist. Each artist has his method of production and looks at the importance of the arrival of the idea smoothly without complication.

 I have many ideas and projects that I hope will soon be produced. My work will deal with the religious and worldly relations between the worshiper and the idol.
