Miska Mohmmed

Miska was born in 1995, in Omdurman, Sudan. Miska Mohmmed works predominantly in oils and acrylics combining material experimentation with an exploration of the sensual experience of landscape.

Miska trained as a painter for a long time, practiced painting “en plein air” guided by her experience of nature, atmosphere, and the movement and bustle of crowded spaces.
Miska renders landscape which remains the focus of her painting practice as a semi-abstract series of sweeping horizontal lines whose direction, colour, and varying density approximate the terrains from which they are drawn. Mohmmed received in 2016 a BFA in Painting from the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan University. Mohmmed has exhibited widely in Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Dubai, Tunisia, New York, UK, Germany and Zanzibar.

She participated at Art Dubai 2022, Dubai, UAE; Art X Lagos 2021 and 2019, Lagos, Nigeria; FNB Art Joburg, Johannesburg and Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2021, Cape Town, South Africa; the Rashid Diab Arts Centre in Khartoum, Sudan; and the French Cultural Centre in Khartoum, Sudan among others.

Art Collectors Carla and Pieter Schulting exhibit her artwork from September 2023 to April 2024 at Kunsthal Kade, Amersfoort, the Netherlands, for Africa Supernova, a group show with a selection of 100 artworks of their collection.

“Highlands of Sudan” will be her first solo show in Barcelona, Spain with OOA GALLERY from October 28th to December 3rd, 2023.
