Tamam Al-Akhal (born 1935) (Arabic: تمام الأكحل) is a Palestinian artist and educator living in Jordan.
Her paintings often reflect imagery and subjects associated with her home in Palestine, such as the Mediterranean Sea, local markets, and traditional architecture.
Al-Akhal has expressed that her art communicates a sense of longing for her home, recalling the scenes of Palestine that shaped her life prior to being expelled during the Israeli occupation, the Nakba, of 1948.
[5] Al-Akhal has exhibited in Egypt, Lebanon, Jerusalem, Jordan, the United States, Kuwait, England, China, Morocco, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Vienna.
[9][5] Her art has appeared on more than a dozen covers of Palestinian Affairs, a magazine published by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
