Artists

Miska Mohmmed was born in 1995 in Omdurman, Sudan. She works predominantly in oils and acrylics, combining material experimentation with an exploration of the sensual experience of landscape. Mohmmed trained as a painter and practised painting en plein air guided by her experience of nature, atmosphere, and the movement and bustle of crowded spaces. She renders landscapes as a semi-abstract series of sweeping horizontal lines whose direction, colour, and varying density approximate the terrains from which they are drawn.

Mohmmed received a BFA in 2016 in painting from the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan University. She has exhibited widely in Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Dubai, Tunisia, New York, the UK, Germany, and Zanzibar. She participated at Art Dubai 2022, Dubai, UAE; Art X Lagos 2021 and 2019, Lagos, Nigeria; FNB Art Joburg and Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2021, South Africa; the Rashid Diab Arts Centre and the French Cultural Centre in Khartoum, Sudan; among others. Her artwork is included in Africa Supernova, a group show with a selection of 100 artworks from the collection of Carla and Pieter Schulting, that runs from September 2023 to April 2024 at Kunsthal Kade, Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
