About the Artwork
Raouf Rifai’s works invite viewers into a world where tradition, identity, and imagination intertwine. Central to his practice are the Darwich figures, enigmatic characters that oscillate between satire and sincerity, reflecting the complexities of human nature and society. With bold colors, layered textures, and expressive forms, Rifai transforms each figure into a vessel of storytelling, carrying both cultural memory and contemporary insight.
Each composition balances playfulness with introspection, combining theatricality with a deep sensitivity to personal and collective experience. Whether rendered on canvas, paper, or installation, Rifai’s works engage audiences in a dialogue that is at once visual, emotional, and poetic, offering a glimpse into a vibrant, ever-evolving world of narrative and imagination.
