Interview with Souad Abdelrasoul

We're delighted to share a recent interview with artist Souad Abdelrasoul, whose work invites us into rich psychological landscapes where bodies, memory, nature and emotion intertwine.

In conversation with Daftar, the cultural journal of afikra, Souad reflects on the ideas that underpin her practice—from the body as a living archive of memory and transformation to the influence of motherhood, mythology and the natural world on her work. She speaks candidly about painting as an intuitive process, where emotions, dreams and lived experience gradually take shape on the canvas, creating hybrid forms that blur the boundaries between human, animal and plant life.

The interview offers a fascinating insight into Souad's creative process and the deeply personal themes that run throughout her practice, making it essential reading for anyone interested in her work.
