Veils of Color: Nabil Mousa’s Abstract Language of Identity | |
Nabil Mousa, a Syrian-born Arab-American artist, uses abstraction as a bold language to question identity, faith, and societal norms. Drawing from his complex experience as a queer Arab immigrant in the U.S., Mousa’s work dissolves boundaries between cultures, genders, and beliefs. His textured canvases and sculptural works often layer vibrant color with symbolic forms—veils, crosses, and geometric fragments—to provoke dialogue around inclusion and marginalization. Mousa’s celebrated series, such as Conceal/Reveal and American Landscape, confront issues like religious dogma and LGBTQ+ visibility, challenging viewers to reimagine tradition through a contemporary lens. His use of the color orange, for example, transforms from cautionary hue to emblem of resilience. By blending personal history with universal questions, Mousa doesn’t just create art—he constructs a visual theology of identity in flux. His work transcends aesthetics, offering a powerful, poetic mirror to the ever-evolving Arab-American experience. | |
