Adnan Al Ahmed’s paintings are characterized by geometric figures, bold and smooth planes of colour and narratives expressed through simplified compositions. Inspired by music, poetry and philosophy, Al Ahmed’s work seeks to express deeply personal memories and thought processes that are simultaneously fundamentally human.

Al Ahmed graduated from the École National Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France in 1986. Following this, he received a diploma in Expressionism in the Plastic Arts in 1987. He currently lives and works in Bahrain and is one of the founding members of the Bahrain Arts Society.
