Suleiman Mansour
Palestine, b.1947
After graduating from Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem, Suleiman Mansour taught art at al-Jalil and Ramallah before joining the faculty of Bir Zeit University in Ramallah. His abstract compositions of straw, chalk, lime, clay, animal fat and natural dyes, such as indigo, on wood take him back to his roots and express a silent resistance to the occupying forces of his country, in a touching humanistic manner.
