Why I chose this work

I really like Dawal's art, whose work is already part of my collection. I love his large formats as much as the small pieces he paints with incredible precision on playing cards or postcards. Stunning.

A knight in pink armour, a small golden sword raised to the sky, and beneath him a mount that is part horse, part fish, part tree. The whole scene floats above ochre dunes, against a burnt orange background. What I love here is the blend. You think of medieval bestiaries and tales of chivalry, yet nothing feels illustrative. The marvellous is there, and so is the craft: the volumes are carefully modelled, the shadows patiently laid down, every curve holds.

Dawal himself speaks of “an escape into a dreamlike space, a journey suspended outside of time.” He also says this canvas was born simply from the pleasure of painting and letting the mind wander. That is exactly what you feel in front of it: an interlude, with nothing to prove.

The artist

DawalParis, France - 1994

Born in 1994, Dawal lives and works in Paris. His pictorial universe unfolds a narrative language where dreams, surrealism, and symbolic poetry intertw. His works feature enigmatic characters and situations that bring inner questions to light.

Through a interplay of subtle symbols, carefully crafted compositions, and relationships between human figures and constructed spaces, he builds narrative scenes rich in meaning. Painting, drawing, and wall murals allow him to explore various scales to create fragments of suspended stories.

Between intimate formats and monumental surfaces, he develops a distinct visual language defined by understated poetry and open-ended narratives.
