About the Item
Aliaa Essam is an Egyptian-Spanish painter. Currently lives in Geneva.
She started her art journey at a very early age. Spending hours watching her mother and grandmother drawing and painting, art came to her life on a natural way.
Aliaa graduated with a degree of Fine Arts from the University of Helwan, Egypt, in 2001. She worked as a full-time painting at a professional level in Cairo, where she had the opportunity to show her paintings at individual and collective exhibitions, until her depart from Egypt in 2008.
After five years working at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, a time where she never abandoned her artistic work, Aliaa decided to resume her career as a full-time painter in 2015.
Since 2015, she has devoted herself to painting, showing a constant dedication to improve her skills as an artist, which has given her the necessary confidence to continue to develop herself professionally.
‘I consider myself an artist specialised on women and, as such, female bodies occupy an essential place on my compositions.
My works, acrylic on canvas, has evolved as I’ve gained more experience.
Painting came into my life through the women of my family, who have painted for generations. Maybe that’s the reason why the idea of painting women in their routine came naturally. I’ve never had the intention of making the female body the centre of my artistic work,
I like to paint the lives of ordinary women, not top-models whose proportions are perfectly symmetrical. I imagine them in their daily life, busy with their business or in moments of solitude, walking in the street, sitting on a sofa, having a coffee, reading…, but never with the intention of looking for something in particular. I love finding the beauty in the little things and expressing that beauty on a simple way.
The contrasts of light and shadow highlight the image of an independent woman. I try to give her a central role on the painting, reaffirmed by the daily activity that she is practising on that particular image. I intend to show her as a strong person in her everyday life.’

My Companion
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
My Companion is a painting that highlights the relationship that existed between human and their pet, especially dogs. The untold loyalty, devotion, love, intimacy, and friendliness are very evident in this painting. The love which humans cannot get from fellow humans is being received by animals.
My Companion shows that it is not gainsaying that humans receive succor from animals from time immemorial. The dog is seen imitating the lady by holding a flower just like the lady does. The icons and motifs generated from peacock feathers are weaved around the lady to reflect the elegance, pride, and independent status of the subject.

Last Shot
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
At the heart of "Last Shot" is a young woman, the central character of this evocative piece. She is fully absorbed in the game of snooker, her posture and facial expression revealing intense concentration and determination. The artist has deliberately obscured all the colored snooker balls, leaving only the white ball visible. This compositional choice draws the viewer's attention to the player's anticipation of her "last shot."
The backdrop of "Last Shot" is a dimly lit snooker hall, creating an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue. The faint glow of overhead lights accentuates the drama of the moment, casting shadows that add depth and complexity to the scene. The absence of details surrounding the white ball and the player's narrowed focus on it contributes to the overall feeling of precision and concentration.
"Last Shot" is a visual metaphor for life's critical moments—those decisive occasions when everything hinges on a single move. By obscuring the colored balls and leaving only the white ball visible, the artwork symbolizes the importance of making the right choices, even when faced with uncertainty and obscurity.
The young woman's unwavering focus on her last shot encourages viewers to consider their own pivotal moments in life. It prompts reflection on the significance of each action and the consequences that follow, reminding us that sometimes, a single move can determine the course of our journey.
