Algiers \u2013 Algerian visual artist Nawal Belal is showcasing a collection of her latest works in Algiers under the theme \u201cThe Logic of Birds.\u201d<\/em> The exhibition, held at the Franz Fanon Gallery in Ryad El Feth, features 60 paintings that delve into the artist\u2019s contemplative view of spirituality, Sufism, and life\u2019s transcendental aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each piece in Belal’s exhibit reflects her unique perspective on mysticism, inspired heavily by Quranic stories and the legacy of prophets and saints, as well as Algeria\u2019s rich cultural heritage. Her paintings embrace abstract forms, using symbolism and hidden meanings that invite viewers into a meditative experience, engaging with shapes, symbols, and color gradients that resonate on a deeply spiritual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prominent in her work is the use of blue and gold, colors chosen to evoke the beauty of religious tradition, legends, poetry, music, and Sufi rituals. Birds\u2014a recurring theme in her paintings\u2014symbolize for her a timeless, spiritual entity transcending place and era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition also pays homage to Algeria\u2019s revolutionary history, as it commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Algerian Revolution, dedicating the show to Emir Abdelkader. Belal, deeply inspired by the Emir\u2019s spiritual and intellectual legacy, describes him as a humanitarian whose life was shaped by profound spiritual convictions and cultural knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the dedication, Belal shared her admiration for Emir Abdelkader, whom she regards as both a spiritual and political figure whose life embodied Sufi principles. The exhibit, running until November 10, is her tribute to his enduring influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An autodidact, Nawal Belal has been exhibiting her work since 1998, employing oil, acrylics, and various mixed media. Her artistic journey has included both solo and group exhibitions in Algeria and abroad, with her art consistently centered on themes of mysticism and spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
