Latifa Alajlan (b. 1998, Kuwait City, Kuwait) integrates Kuwaiti cultural elements into her paintings, using patterning and form. Her star-shaped canvases and latticework-like underpaintings draw inspiration from Middle Eastern architecture, representing a distinct and conceptually driven practice that questions systems of structure through flight-like gestures and identifiable idioms.
