ELSA Art Show: Artist's Profile by Rika

Jamal Sabri is a visual artist from Baghdad, Iraq. He has been in the art world for 25 years. He has participated in a lot of shows in many countries such as Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Canada.

He painted all the paintings for this event using acrylic paint. His favorite painting, which you can see in the picture, represents the memory of his childhood to his soul. He doesn't usually decide what he paints before he starts. The ideas result from receiving inspiration from the color or what he paints on the canvas.

His artistic philosophy is to create beauty out of nowhere, from sadness and tragedy poor people experienced. If you open your heart and look at his paintings, you will probably feel attracted to the philosophy of his art.
