Timeless Echoes

Zawyeh Gallery is pleased to announce hosting an exhibition by the renowned Iraqi artist Afifa Aleiby from 26 February until 8 May 2023. The exhibition titled “Timeless Echoes” will include some of her latest artworks echoing her own life and tackling multiple societal and humane subjects.

Aleiby’s style is poetic, and her paintings have a unique quality of beauty mixed with the
intensity of emotions. Her work is a reflection on women’s state in society even though she stresses that she does not intend it to convey “a feminist statement” although it “may at times be related to women’s issues”. She adds: “I use the female figure as a medium to help communicate this idea. Women as human figures have something special that you cannot find in men: the way they move and their beauty.”
