A Syrian artist lives and works in France after coming from Syria.
He works in the field of visual arts. He also taught Arabic calligraphy at the School of Political Science - SciencesPo - in Paris and Reims. And teaches now in the École supérieure d'art Pays Basque : ESAPB
Ibrahim graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts – Department of Sculpture, Damascus / Syria in 2002.
Since then, his work has dealt with the relationship between people, animals, and objects from one side with the effects of the surrounding environment from another side. And what these relations bear as
effects on the internal world of these characters and things. And on his internal world personally.
To identify his identity as an artist and a human being. Trying to convey his personal experience of his own and personal domain. To the public domain. With what this experience will contain in its political,
social and psychological context. For the core effects of his time. This comes out spontaneously in his work with all the effects and experiences that he experienced during the times of revolutions, wars and
conflicts in his country and affected him and the elements of his work directly or indirectly, as in times of peace. This is what the artist tries to disseminate to the human experience as a whole everywhere and
at any time. Tries through his works to resist the act of war by declaring the act of Art as an act of life in return for the act of death.
His practice of Arabic calligraphy comes from his dealing with the Arabic script as an element of life and reality. He chooses the sources of his texts that he wishes to work on from local or global resources to represent his convictions. To try to express through it in the most honest way possible what is
going on in his mind.
His handling of Arabic calligraphy is like being treated with a dance classmate. Moving with her over the blank white paper. To practice his dance ritual with the calligraphy for defying himself and reality. Which
gives him hope for the possibility of emancipation... Lightness... And Freedom
