Palestinian Artist and art historian Kamal Boullata’s work, focuses primarily on Palestinian culture and identity, which through geometric abstractions, call to mind traditional Palestinian embroidery patterns. Employing Kufic script and colourful designs, Boullata’s silkscreen prints as well as his acrylic paintings, were largely inspired by his childhood, growing up in Jerusalem, where he was captivated by the geometric patterns and calligraphic engravings that surround the walls of the old city; hewould often find himself sitting near the Al Aqsa Mosque, studying and sketching the intricacy of its designs.
