Samir Salameh
Palestine, b. 1944-2018
Samir Salameh’s art training was at the School of Fine Arts in Damascus (1973) and the École Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris (1981) where he lives and is Artistic Director at the VI and VII University of Jussien. In his paintings, Salameh mixes traditional Arabic script with calligraffitti, executed in a modern rendition where letter signs, words and sentences combine to form visual forms and thematic subjects.
