Dalal Al-Obaidi’s (b. 1996, Kuwait) practice engages questions of memory, place, and identity, often through figurative compositions that blur the boundaries between the personal and the collective. Her paintings navigate psychological interiority, social structures, and the outside world with sensitivity and restraint, using the body, gesture, and spatial tension to explore lived experience within and beyond contemporary Kuwaiti society.

Al-Obaidi studied at Central Saint Martins in London and lives and works in Kuwait.

Dalal Al-Obaidi’s work has been the subject of solo presentations including Time to Go at Sultan Gallery, Kuwait (2024), and an upcoming solo exhibition at Taymour Grahne Projects, Dubai (2026). Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions including I Am Not What I Am, I Become at Athr Gallery, Jeddah (2026), the MA Interim Show at Central Saint Martins, London (2025), Threads in Lincoln, UK (2024), and Ladies Drawing Club curated by Louise Fitzjohn (online) (2023).
