Ghassan Akl (b. 1973, Dier Alzour, Syria) is a Syrian artist who studied fine art in 1998. He believes that painting transcends mere colors, elements, and techniques, considering each artwork a story rich with details and lines that "move and breathe as if they are alive and real". He attributes deep feelings to colors, stating they "catch your heart and brain". Akl has a profound connection to his heritage, reading "the stories of heritage in the colors of the desert," to which he belongs, along with Alfurat.

Akl has extensively participated in numerous joint and solo exhibitions, as well as various artistic forums. He also currently teaches art at Albashaer Private School.

Ghassan Akl primarily works with mixed media on canvas. His artworks, as depicted in the provided images, often feature textured surfaces and a palette that seems to draw inspiration from the "colors of the desert". The compositions frequently include abstract forms and lines that suggest movement and organic qualities, aligning with his philosophy that lines "move and breathe as if they are alive and real".

While abstract, there are often subtle hints of forms that could be interpreted as figures or landscapes, creating a sense of depth and narrative within the non-representational elements. The use of mixed media allows for a rich layering of textures and visual interest, inviting the viewer to explore the intricate details and emotional depth he aims to convey through his colors and compositions. His style can be characterized by its evocative nature, blending abstract expression with a profound sense of place and heritage, and a focus on the emotional impact of color.
