Works

The collages of Aula Al Ayoubi mix different media. Her creations represent portraits of the most iconic women from her childhood, from Egyptian actress Faten Hamama to Lebanese singer Fairuz to the icon of Egyptian music Umm Kulthum. Punctuated with rich and colorful details, her dynamic compositions convey her own emotional feelings in front of these famous people.[2] [3]

The artist uses a bright and bold palette of colors and her collage technique gives her paintings a rich diversity of textures. Aula Al Ayoubi's works are exhibited in Syria and Kuwait. Her painting is also presented in private collections.[4]

In 2015, she participated in the first international meeting of Mediterranean art, organized by Col·lectiu Mediterrani. Fourteen Spanish, Italian, Syrian, Moroccan and Turkish artists take part in a contemporary style exhibition mixing painting, sculpture, poetry or photography.[5] [6]

In 2017, Aula Al Ayoubi participated in the exhibition Radical Love: Female Lust bringing together nearly 50 women Arab artists around Arabic poetry written by women mainly between the 7th century and 12th century. As a response to President Donald Trump's ban on travel to the United States, artists anchor their works and illustrations in women's sexual pleasure.[7] [8]
