Mays Almoosawi

Mays Almoosawi is a 26 year old visual artist from Muscat, Oman. She decided to follow her dream of being an artist instead of what was expected of her from her society. 

Mays completed her BA in Illustration in Coventry in the United Kingdom that led her to becoming a full time artist today. Her focus on the female figure as her signature subject matter stems from Mays' view of the society she was raised in. 

The stories, insecurities and challenges women from her community experience greatly impacted Mays' identity growing up, where she felt the need to provide a voice and insight to the true expression these women possess. Mays' production is characterised as spontaneous and in the moment creations guided by her emotional state of mind.
