Mafi Nawa is an art project that exists at the intersection of traced calligraphy, design, graffiti, acrylic pouring, and spray painting. The style is both playful and critical, bridging the historical with the contemporary.

The Arabic expression Mafi Nawa can be loosely translated as “There’s no use,” often spoken with sarcasm in the face of political oppression and social corruption.

The art pieces here reflect that sense of humor and invite us to consider both beauty and grief. The inspiration behind each piece is often rooted in Arab culture, music, and language.

Select pieces from the collection are reimagined into merch and wearable art that carry the spirit of Mafi Nawa beyond the canvas.
