Hawajri Mohammed
Palestinian artist born in Breij Refugee Camp, Gaza, lives and works in Gaza.

Mohammad Al Hawajri is one of Palestine’s youngest and most remarkable artists. His current paintings are a fusion of Arabic text and layers of colors. At times, the text is abstract as several layers weave in and out of each other, and in-between layers of color.
He once said, "My inks are the black plait that connects me to the earth, my colors are inspired from the soil, my letters from history’s lessons." Al Hawajri has recently been experimenting with painting on animal bones, attempting to recollect archaic history, for as he puts it, "human primitive instinct was that of an artist’s."
