Abbas Almosawi

Abbas Almosawi is a professional artist for more than forty years and the founder of the Art & Peace Project in 1991.

Abbas Al Mosawi learned his craft first under the tutelage of the Bahraini artist, Ahmed Baqer. Later as a student in Cairo he was attracted to the impressionist style of Sabry Ragheb, whom he considers to this day to be the prince of painters. The sources for his work derive principally from the old souk of Manama and its surrounding villages. His paintings provide the viewer with the necessary imaginative and aesthetic bridge to the past. Indeed such is the power of his native Bahrain on his artistic output that it colors both literally and figuratively his abstract paintings.
