The Paintings of Mohammad Al-Krunz: A Festival of Life

Mahmoud Abu Hashhash

 

النص بالعربية

The images of Mohammad Al-Krunz's destroyed paintings stand as witnesses to key moments in the journey of a self-taught, passionate artist. He began with an intuitive talent for drawing, driven by his love for art, and continued to work on developing his tools, honing his skills, and discovering his own style through practice, experimentation, and perseverance. In doing so, he shaped his vision of his role as an artist in a place like Gaza and the art he could contribute to a vibrant and diverse artistic scene.

Mohammad Al-Krunz's works also bear witness to a beautiful, optimistic, and resilient spirit that celebrates life. They reflect a perspective capable of capturing simplicity and authenticity, whether in a fleeting moment of joy or a leap into the air, transforming these into gestures of unending happiness and strength.
