Mahmood Mohamed, a modern artist based in Bahrain, began his journey on canvas at a tender age of 10, enchanted by European street art on a family holiday.

On his artistic voyage, he was greatly influenced by the likes of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, reinterpreting popular imagery through his own lens and yet retaining the true essence of the subject. ¬His current work showcases various techniques and mediums including but not limited to spray paints, acrylic style working across graffiti, painting, collage and drawing. The subjects range from pop art to animal abstracts, nevertheless his hearty passion dwells in portraits and muse.

His work is characterized by two phases. He first uses different techniques such as graffiti and abstract for the first layer then hand-draws the face in black to simulate stencil work that he has created.

Mahmood wishes to have his own art space where he can showcase his paintings alongside other artists around the world.
