IN SHORT

A prolific artist and vocal campaigner for peace, Abbas Almosawi uses art to promote harmony and togetherness. His work has been exhibited on four continents, and he has worked with the UN to raise awareness about peace and environmental conservation efforts. But always, his heart is in Bahrain. “I feel very close to the land,” he says, “close to the country, the people. I still have big plans, but I want them to start from Bahrain.”
