A selection of paintings, large-scale canvases and drawings by Syrian-born, Athens-based artist Jamal Joratli. The works move from the travellers, horses and Terracotta Warriors of his celebrated Silk Road series – exhibited at the Benaki Museum in Athens and the Dalian Modern Museum in China – to luminous figures, forests and abstract colour fields.

SERIES
The Silk Road Series
Inspired by the ancient route between China and the West: crowds of travellers, Terracotta Warriors, Peking Opera masks and the Arabian horses that carried precious goods across mountains and deserts. Works from this series were shown in Athens (2016), Corfu and Dalian, China (2018).
FIGURES & ABSTRACTION
Figures, Colour & Movement
Portraits, masks and vertical compositions where figures dissolve into layered colour – deep crimson, rose, violet and earth tones.
NATURE
Forests & Branches
Birch forests, white trunks and networks of branches – nature as rhythm, light and structure.
WORKS ON PAPER
Drawings & Studies
Pencil studies of travellers, horses and Terracotta Warriors – the first step of the artist’s journey towards each painting.
