While Khalil Ibrahim is widely recognised for his figurative works, he also embarked on explorations in abstraction throughout his career. In this section, we delve into his abstract compositions, characterised by fluid lines, vibrant colours, and dynamic forms. Through the absence of recognisable figures, Khalil Ibrahim sought to evoke emotions and provoke introspection in a more universal manner. His abstract artworks exude a sense of freedom and spontaneity, inviting viewers to engage with their own interpretations and connect with the intangible realms of the human experience.
