Sudanese artist Moataz Mukhtar Ali Al-Amin won the Luxembourg Art Prize for 2024. The La Pinacothèque Museum in Luxembourg awarded him a certificate of artistic merit for participating in the international selection for the Luxembourg Art Prize 2024.

The artist Moataz Mukhtar Ali, an engineer and artist specializing in digital drawing, has been an expatriate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for 25 years. He studied primary school at Al-Qouz School, middle school at Al-Ittihad School, high school at Al-Muqrin School, and then at the University of Khartoum.

Moataz’s drawings have attracted many fans and followers. They mimic Sudanese reality in all its details, aided by his use of bold colours, which gave his paintings attractive dimensions.

The Luxembourg Prize is an annual international art prize organized by the Pinacothèque Museum, a private museum located in Luxembourg.

The award aims to discover talents, whether amateur or professional, regardless of age and nationality, every year since its inception in 2015. The award also aims to launch or enhance the careers of artists at the international level by giving them a sound reference to add to their professional resume.

The museum selects 24 finalists each year, and an independent jury appoints 3 winners.
