A Journey
Through Layers
Whether you have a question, are interested in a specific artwork or would like to discuss a commission I’d love to hear from you.
About AlKhoory
Born (25th May 1996) and raised in Dubai, U.A.E. Mohammed Alkhoory is currently based in Dubai. He had an interest in art from his childhood but decided to take Forensic Sciences as a career. He, later on, rediscovered his talent while in the Netherlands doing his masters and later during the event of Covid Lockdown.
Artist Statement
I feel like we all live in multi-layered social and mental bubbles, and it takes time, effort, courage, and acceptance to burst the first bubble layer and move on to the next. Being in a bubble myself, I constantly observe life around me, contemplating people, places, and nature. Pre-made images of fictional characters or creatures result from the life issue I’m experiencing.
My art serves as a channel through which I share my spiritual and mental journey with the world. This is my way of reconnecting with the wild imagination of my childhood and the world I live in today. I believe a mixture of abstraction, symbolism, and surrealism gives the viewer a puzzle to solve so they can interact with the painting. In all these symbols, I see a vital question: why has no other animal been able to advance as far as civilization has? The answer proves the fact that God has something planned for all of us.
I know my art is responsive to our times, as it combines many realities into one in a modern and timely manner, changing the point of view of both the artist himself and the viewers. This art journey is meant to inspire people and help them accept that life is hard and often unfair, that we are weak and blinded by our weakness. My goal is to motivate, inspire or simply draw the viewer’s attention to what they feel and live while contemplating my depicted reality. If my painting somehow affects the viewer, I know I have already fulfilled my mission as an artist.
