MAHDI AL-JERAIBI

MAKKAH

“It was more to do with feeling that I was alone with my ideas and way of seeing. That no-one understands. That’s not to say I’m a moody person, but sometimes the art I make is.”

Born in 1969, Mahdi Al-Jeraibi has lived much of his life in Makkah. He graduated from the School of Fine Art, Riyadh, in 1989 and now works as an art instructor in Jeddah. He is supported by the Al Mansouria Foundation who have coordinated several of his exhibitions.
