A. Wahab Al Koheji

" My art is a continuous process of changing and evolving - experimenting with colours and themes, but all stemming from my roots and my heritage ........"

Wahab Al KohejiExtremely well known for many years in Bahrain and the Gulf, Wahab is now truly an artist of International standing, with demands for his work from collectors and galleries in Europe, the States and Australia. Wahab's inspiration stems from his love of traditional architecture of his native Gulf region and the richly coloured Middle Eastern textiles. He then adds to this heady mixture the contrasts of the searing Arabian sun and the cool shade of courtyards and interiors.

In recent years, his series of limited edition silkscreens has proved enormously popular. The beautiful, vibrant hues, and the feeling that someone has 'just stepped out' of his pictures, proves an irresistible combination.

Wahab trained in the U.K. and holds a degree in Interior and Architectural Design from Newcastle University. He studied Fine Art at Dartington Schools of Art, and Master Framing in Italy. Wahab has been painting professionally for 25 years.
