Ahmad Nawash
Ahmad Nawash, born in Palestine in 1934, was a highly influential member of various art scenes throughout the Middle East for over three decades. He earned his BA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome in 1964 and studied lithography and zinc etching in Bordeaux, France in 1970. He continued to study these media in Paris from 1975 to 1977 and in Florence in 1980, where he also studied the restoration of oil paintings. Nawash’s early work was inspired by his traumatic flight from Palestine in 1948, and he drew thematic inspiration from the social, political, and economic situations of the Arab World.
Nawash’s melancholy, dreamlike compositions, populated by absurd figures that float in planes of muted colors, express the pain he witnessed in various tragedies in the Arab world. Despite the gloomy side of humanity in his work, he expressed his infinite hope for the future through his creative production.
