About the Artwork
Raouf Rifai’s work blends tradition, identity, and imagination through his Darwich figures, which shift between satire and sincerity. Using bold colors, layered textures, and expressive forms, he turns each figure into a story rich with cultural memory and contemporary insight. Playful yet introspective, his compositions invite viewers into a visual and emotional dialogue that reflects both personal and collective experience.
