Holy Family by Sliman Mansour
In this work, Sliman Mansour (b. Birzeit, 1947) presents a powerful image of the Palestinian family as a symbol of cultural continuity and resilience. A woman in traditional dress is embraced by a man, while their child, wearing a kuffiyeh, stands between them—signifying the transmission of identity and heritage to the next generation. The composition, reminiscent of classical religious iconography, evokes themes of sanctity, protection, and generational unity. The warm tones of orange, yellow, and brown reflect the Palestinian landscape and reinforce the family’s rootedness in their land. Through this arrangement, Mansour emphasizes both the sacredness of the familial bond and the enduring role of tradition in sustaining Palestinian identity amid adversity.
