Abdullah Al-Jahdhami, known as Shaweesh, is a Riyadh-based mixed-media artist born in 1990. His work examines cultural exchanges between Saudi Arabia and the world by merging visual art with elements of design.

Influenced by the early internet era, he integrates symbols from Western pop culture into his pieces, initiating a cross-cultural dialogue. In his latest series, Shaweesh reimagines figures like Captain America and Yoda within key moments of Saudi history, blending humor and critique.

Rooted in personal memory—his love for cartoons and time spent collecting old newspapers in Riyadh—his work takes the form of digital collages that satirically recast cartoon icons as unlikely protagonists in the rewriting of national narratives.
