Life and work
[edit]Sannib is a Syrian contemporary artist of Syrian and Lebanese descent who is currently living in London. Sannib started painting at the age of 10 with no prior lesson nor technique.[1] From 1997 to 1998, he took his first figurative and abstract painting lessons with Syrian painter Fared Jorgeuos. Sannib participated in his first art exhibition in 1994 in Kuwait and later with the Syrian Artist Group Exhibition in Homs, Syria in 1998.[2] From 2001 to 2002, Sannib lived in London, UK where he took additional painting lessons and improved his technique and style. In 2006, he experimented with abstract themes and acrylic painting under the guidance of Mard Issa, a Norwegian classical painter and author who inspired him.[3] Sannib's work focus on digital art, Islamic and Western art and around humanitarian and contemporary themes.[4][5] The concept of "Dreamalism" is his signature style and a movement he started in 2014. According to him, Dreamalism is for the preservation of the aspirations and dreams of people longing for liberation, prosperity, freedom of expression and speech.[6] He is known for his paintings of God's names, the door of Kaaba and the golden Mecca. His most recent creation is a digital Islamic art that combines graphic design and fine art.[7][8]
