Creative Talks: Nasser Almulhim's artistic spirits

Leila Al Fayez, KHAMSA, 14 June 2024

KHAMSA published Leila Al Fayez's Creative Talks interview with Nasser Almulhim on 14 June 2024. The on page headline uses Almulhim; the URL misspells the surname as almuhim.

Almulhim talks about the split, the space between chaos and order, dark and light, and about colour and shape as forces that can calm or unsettle. He describes nature as a guide to his palette, and growing up in Saudi Arabia, including the architecture of Riyadh in the 1980s, as a source for geometry. Asked what has changed since a previous exhibition, he says he is more at ease in sharing the work. The interview was published during In Between, his 2024 solo at Tabari.

The gallery is named. A later KHAMSA conversation with Talal and Ziad Al Najjar is a separate piece.

The questions also cover how he chooses colours and shapes, and how they might show a link between spirituality and mental life. He says he flows toward calm colours, and that geometry and organic form carry energies worth honouring.

Tabari represents Nasser Almulhim.
