Timeline

Born in Afrin, the Kurdish part of northern Syria, Salam Ahmad fled from the war in Syria with his family in 2014. As an artist, he practices spontaneous drawing every day, to preserve the manifestations of the spontaneous in formulating the rhythms of expressive, symbolic, and sometimes imaginary forms and colors. Using the oil and acrylic technique on the canvas, it goes free and spontaneous intertwining chromaticity, presenting, in the end, a painting that carries a spontaneous color, distortion, transformation, and simplification of the elements that go beyond the traditional vision and confirms its plasticity, increasing our sensitivity to modern aesthetic rhythms that have a direct relationship with the culture and arts of the century.
