Badie Jahjah
Badie Jahjah was born in 1973. He is a visual artist and graphic designer. As the founder of BJ Concept, he designs logos and assists other companies or institutions in branding products and creating marketing concepts. In addition, Badie is the founder of AlefNooon Gallery, which exhibits contemporary Syrian art in the heart of Damascus. Badie’s vision is guided by a belief in the spiritual power of art, with the aim of uniting man in its beauty and at the same time with high moral standards, so that man can grow from it. He is driven by the belief in us humans of all talents and abilities. For in every human being there are slumbering talents that can be developed and ultimately enrich social life. Art is a great thing that does not end at one level. The artist is unique, he has his own philosophy and his relationship with spiritual symbols that have meaning regardless of specific times or eras. However, he cannot deny the time in which and for whom he was born, because the seed of consciousness grows in the soul of every lover.

Ali Hussein
The artist Ali Hussein born in Aleppo 1956 and went his own artistic way. Since childhood, his love of color was very great. In addition to constant artistic consciousness, he left his environment – society and colleagues – to form their own opinions. This and other factors helped him achieve success and he became one of the most prominent faces in the Syrian art scene. Ali began making simple drawings on the wall and painting on the floor as a child in his hometown of Aleppo’s bustling neighborhoods. Even though he was later denied the opportunity to study fine arts in the Syrian art metropolis of Damascus, he was able to realize his childhood dream with his paintings.

While his mother was baking bread next to the tent, Aksam got the idea to paint something with the leftover coal. He painted and wrote on the walls of the tent. This experience was the beginning of his passion for art and drawing. To this day, his paintings are inspired by these childhood experiences. Always searching for the right coordinates in life, the artist Aksam discovered his love for calligraphy and artistic representation of the Arabic language. In the course of his artistic career has matured into a professional calligrapher and knows that a quality calligraphic drawing, in addition to the quality of the stationery and the choice of diamond, is determined by the inner conviction and strength. Because only with art can there be healing.

Artist
Adnan Hamida
The godfather of many emerging and professional Syrian artists, who was born in Damascus in 1962. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus Adnan is a plastic artist, teacher of plastic arts and art director. He participated in Al-Eidy from individual and group art exhibitions in Syria and Germany. Our very beloved artist lived in Damascus, they worked and their strong wills inspired many “Faces of faces and a strange world that I feel and see and others do not see. It is the universe with all that it is of stone, plant, animal and man. Every little thing carries within it a large universe in which it is contained. Draw and color this world with its part and the whole. Draw freely without the limitations of the reasonable and the absurd. Therefore, it adjoins in it. My works are beings that cannot in fact be side by side, imaginary beings without existence, and real beings formed from humanized rocks or inanimate objects.
My visual memory was formed in the museums of Palmyra, Damascus, and Aleppo, which tell about Zenobia, the Phoenicians, the Assyrians, the Canaanites, the ancient gods, Baal Ra, the gods of the spring, and others. To express what is wandering in my visual memory over the fifty years I lived, I used acrylic colors and other materials such as oil pastel and charcoal to help me with these pictures. I lived in times of war and stability at other times. I lived and believed that good and beautiful art must prevail. Today I paint in light of the war in my country. I did not stop painting despite all the bad conditions. I paint strange life in a strange way. Draw beauty in search of life. “
