Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali

Mustafa was born in Latakia in 1956. Known for elegant, monumental sculptures that pierce the consciousness and underscore the fragility of mankind, he has been widely collected in the Arab world for nearly three decades and has been a major contributor to the Majlis Gallery’s exhibition programme since the mid 1990’s.

We first met Mustafa as a young energetic student of Abdul Latif Al Smoudi. He is still energetic and has become a mentor to countless young Syrian artists. We regularly showed his and Abdul Latif’s work together, there was a synergy wrought through their joint interest in and knowledge of Mesopotamian mythology.
