Zaweah: Abstract Paintings of Restraint and Process
Artist Zaweah, born in Morocco and now based in Sweden, creates bold abstract works using mixed media on canvas, wood panel, and corrugated paper. His practice involves layering, scraping, and controlled erosion. After studying Design Engineering in Sweden, he returned to painting following a long hiatus. His work 'Genesis' won an award in an international contest in London in 2021. His recent series 'Contained Fire' explores tension and depth through accumulated layers. Zaweah studied under El Azhar and exhibited early in his career.
