Description

KHALED AL HAMZAH
Jordan | Artist

“My art is about life in a way of interaction with it. It deals with nature in a wider concept, environment and its problems, social and political issues, and aspirations of my soul. I make art as drinking water or eating food, it goes as breathing. Yes I sea art as tool for living in any form of art wither sculpture, painting or printmaking, the traditional art forms, or other new forms such as video art and installation. All these forms are means of creating the idea in a visual and conceptual form., While you are looking over my art works please think that they are sent to you.”
