Known for his ability to merge cultural heritage with contemporary visual language, Mourad explores themes of memory, exile, identity, and historical narrative through dense graphic compositions, monotypes, and evocative architectural forms. His work is characterized by an intricate layering of movement, gesture, calligraphic elements, and texture, inviting a deeply immersive reading of his images.

Mourad has been invited by major international institutions to present his work and performances, including Katara Cultural Village (Doha), the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Asia Society Triennial (New York), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Washington National Cathedral (Washington, D.C.), the Spurlock Museum (Illinois), the Rose Art Museum (Massachusetts), the Aga Khan Museum (Toronto), the Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg), and the Ismaili Centre (London). His work is included in significant public collections, including the Spurlock Museum (Illinois), the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris), and the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, where his monumental installation Seeing Through Babel entered the museum’s permanent collection in 2023.

Mourad has also collaborated with internationally renowned musicians and ensembles. He is the only visual artist member of the Silkroad Ensemble, founded by Yo-Yo Ma, a collaboration featured in the documentary film The Music of Strangers (2015).

In 2026, Mourad presents his work in Paris as part of the exhibition Slaves in the Mediterranean, 17th–18th Century at the Institut du Monde Arabe (March 31 – July 19).
