Nabeel Alsamman

Nabeel Alsamman

Nabeel Alsamman (b. 1957, Damascus, Syria) is a Syrian painter who graduated from the Academy of Fine Art Interior Design at Damascus University in 1981. His work is recognized for its focus on human values, particularly the role of women in society and their triumph over oppression.

Alsamman's extensive career includes participation in exhibitions inside and out Syria, including a solo exhibition at the ALM Gallery during the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013, where he also represented Syria at The Syrian Pavilion.

Beyond his painting, Alsamman has contributed to art education, conducting special studies on children's art (1999-2002), teaching art in private schools (2000-2005), and establishing workshops for children and young students. He has also undertaken studies and decorations for private and official buildings, and created wall paintings in Damascus, Amman, and Kuwait.

Nabeel Alsamman primarily works with acrylic on canvas. His artistic style is distinctive for its inclusion of geometrical shapes rendered with intense colors, which are often fused with natural elements, animals, and human figures. He also incorporates ancient mythological themes into his compositions.

Alsamman masterfully combines precise geometric forms with fluid, often expressive human and animal figures. These geometric structures might serve as frameworks, backgrounds, or integral parts of the subjects themselves, creating a dynamic interplay between order and organic life.

His use of "intense colors" is a hallmark, creating vibrant and impactful artworks. These colors contribute to the emotional weight and thematic clarity of his paintings, particularly when addressing human values and societal issues.

His focus on the role of women and their "victory against oppression" is often visually communicated through powerful imagery and symbolic narratives. The integration of ancient mythological themes further enriches his work, providing a timeless context for contemporary struggles and triumphs.

The fusion of diverse elements—nature, animals, human figures, geometry, and mythology—within his canvases creates rich and layered compositions that invite deeper contemplation.

Overall, Nabeel Alsamman's art is a compelling blend of structured form and fluid narrative, employing a vibrant palette and symbolic imagery to convey profound human values and universal themes.
