About the Artist

Faisal Alkhreiji is a contemporary Saudi artist known for blending cubism and surrealism to reimagine Arab identity and heritage. Born and raised in Jeddah, Alkhreiji began sketching at the age of six, and developed his style through self-exploration and exposure. His vibrant portraits are inspired by traditional Saudi culture—clothing, landscapes, customs—presented through a modern, abstract lens. Influenced by artists such as Pablo Picasso and George Condo and inspired by some of their most famous works, Alkhreiji creates captivating pieces that explore identity and transformation. His work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Boston, and Jeddah. Often called the “Saudi Picasso,” Alkhreiji is part of a new generation of artists reshaping the global perception of Arab art, offering a fresh, expressive, and personal take on cultural representation.
