People and nature are Mohammad Al Helal’s themes. They are abstracted and reduced to their elementary biomorphic forms. Especially in his most recent works, he radically reduces the natural form to a minimum of dynamic, elegant basic elements. The rhinoceros as an animal is no longer recognizable. Instead, the horn protrudes vertically from its elliptical head. Nature is inspiration for creating your own sculptural forms and is entirely in the tradition of the great Hans Arp.
