Saudi Arabian artist, Jowhara Alsaud is known for creating works of art with multimedia. Inspired by censorship within his country, he began to explore the possibilities that he could create with very little expression.
In keeping censorship in mind in the creation process, he has successful made art that manages to carry out a message. Without the use of facial expression, it’s amazing how the emotion of his characters still comes across clearly.
