My work is rooted in script, in its journey from a single dot to boundless meanings – released from its familiar forms to become a universal rhythm of visual expression.
Lulwah Al Homoud is an established international award winning artist who started her career in London after finishing her MA degree in Art from Central Saint Martins and her style became recognized globally.

Calligraphy is central to Al Homoud’s work, which explores the complexities of linguistic, mathematical and visual systems of communication. Her artistic practice is inspired by Islamic art and geometry, as well as Western artists like Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Mondrian. Al Homoud deconstructs Arabic script and applies ancient mathematical principles to devise unique systems of expression, revealed through the elaborate geometric patterns that have become a hallmark of her work. This process reflects the artist’s preoccupation with the relationship between creator and creation, as well as the multifarious ways in which God communicates with man.
