Samia Taktak Zaru is a contemporary multi-media artist, designer, painter and sculptor renowned throughout the Arab world.
She was born in Nablus in 1938. She studied Fine Arts at the American University of Beirut. Afterwards the artist moved to Washington where she did her post-graduate studies in the Corcoran School of Art and the American University 1961.
Samia studied under sculptor Basbous and attended Art Education Specialist UNESCO/ UNRWA Seminars in Beirut, Lebanon.
Samia became the first woman to experiment in mixed media creations as a welder/sculptor, whether scrap metals, stone, wood, yarn or paint; she would always see beyond the simple image and transform it into a masterpiece of creativity that would leave the viewer with a sobering thought.
She likes to search for identity by trying materials that relate to human beings and life such as: wood, dyes, ropes and the remnants of Palestinian embroidery, as an expression of the beauty of her culture and land.
What distinguishes this artist is that she blends the abstract art with handy crafts. In her art work we can see that she uses various art materials like: acrylic, oil and water color, and wooden blocks. She molds her metallic sculptures and embroiders her own embroidery, which she uses in her art.
The artist uses bold colors and strong lines to communicate the tension in her work. She also integrates Palestinian embroidery and printed fabrics into her paintings, to help bring out a celebratory tone.
Among her most prominent pieces are the metal sculpture of the Haya Center (1964) and the AlHusain Gardens Seven sculptures (2000). She has participated in International and Arab Exhibitions, winning medals and awards in Iraq, Egypt and Kuwait. She has held one-woman shows in Europe, Asia, USA and the Arab world and has participated in many group exhibitions. Presently she works in an open studio-workshop and displays her work in Amman, Jordan.
Zaru’s works are included in the collection of the Jordan Royal Court, The Jordan National Gallery, The Museum of Women in the Arts DC, the President Reagan and President Carter Library Museums, the Vatican Museum, the Iraqi Museum of Modern Art, the Rockefeller Art Collection and The Russian Modern Art Museum in Moscow as well as in private collections in Jordan.
Zaru is a founding member of the Jordan National Gallery and the Artists Association and a pioneer of Installation Art in the Arab World since 1986. She had the first installation in 1988 in Amman on an area of 1000 square meters. She also works on the revival and development of traditional design in the Arab and Islamic World in her capacity as a consultant and speaker at seminars on Art and identity in design development in arts and crafts (Ircica).
A lecturer and an expert on art curricula tailored to Arab culture in schools and universities, Zaru is one of seven International experts with UNESCO to set the policy for the enhancement of arts in education.
She yearns for a future where art is the international language that will make long lasting bridges of understanding and tolerance amongst nations and hopes Arab art will spread around the world.

Kamal Boullata is a Palestinian artist, writer and art historian. Boullata was born to a Christian Palestinian family in Jerusalem, mandatory Palestine in 1942.
Growing up in Jerusalem, Boullata studied with the artist of Orthodox Christian icons, Khalil Halaby (1889–1964). He was fascinated by Arabic script, particularly the square, geometric style of lettering known as Kufic. Boullata recalled spending hours growing up in Jerusalem, sketching the calligraphy he saw on the Dome of the Rock shrine. He graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arte in Rome in 1965 and attended the Corcoran Academy for the Fine Arts in Washington, D.C., from 1968 to 1971. Boullata stayed in Washington thereafter, teaching at Georgetown University and producing his art. In 1990 he published Faithful Witnesses: Palestinian Children Recreate Their World and in 1993 he received a Fulbright Senior Scholar Fellowship to research Islamic art in Morocco, with the result that in the 1990s, he lived in both Morocco and France.
In 2001 he received the Ford Foundation grant to pursue research on the influence of post-Byzantine art on Palestinian painting.
His works are primarily done in acrylic and abstract in style focusing on the ideas of division in Palestinian identity, separation from homeland through utilization geometric forms as well as integration of Arabic words and calligraphy.
His compositions are based on the angular Kufi script, which he uses as a representational form of art.
Boullata published studies on contemporary Arab art, the structural affinities between Arabic grammar and the arabesque and the cultural perception of color through its linguistic expression. His pioneering studies on Palestinian art appeared in books and academic journals. He is the author of Recovery of Place: A Study of Contemporary Palestinian Art (in Arabic) and the editor ofBelonging and Globalisation: Critical Essays on Contemporary Art and Culture (Saqi Books).
His work is well regarded around the world, and Boullata is considered one of Palestine’s great modernist artists. His work has been shown in the United States, France, and the Middle East, including at the Musée du Palais Carnoles and the Galerie d’art Contemporain Palais de l’Europe, Menton, the Musée du Chateau Dufresne, Montreal, and Galerie Claude Lemand, Paris.
Boullata is still active, but surely will be remembered as a foremost Palestinian modernist artist, as well as a scholar of the history of Palestinian art.

Sliman Mansour born in Birzeit, Palestine in 1947. He is an important figure among contemporary Palestinian artists. Mansour spent his childhood at boarding schools on Bethlehem.
He studied fine art at Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem from 1967 to 1970, and has been involved in the Palestinian art scene since the 1970’s.
Mansour is considered an artist of the Intifada whose work gave visual expression to the cultural concept of sumud 1. He is a co-founder of the League of Palestinian Artists and the artist group ‘New Visions’ which was established during the first Intifada in 1987. This group particularly tied notions of land to political suppression through artist’s materials such as henna, clay and natural pigments, advocating a continuous claim to land through these. The group was formed by four prominent Palestinian artists: Tayseer Barakat, Vera Tamari, Nabil Anani and Sliman Mansour.
Since the seventies, he has contributed to the development of an iconography of the Palestinian struggle through his works on paper. Uniting Mansour’s body of work is the depiction of the orange tree (considered to symbolize the 1948 Nakba), the olive tree (considered to symbolize the 1967 war), traditional Palestinian embroidery, village life, and the figure of the Palestinian woman as the mother figure of Palestine, giving birth to and protecting the Palestinian people. One of Mansour’s most recognized works is the 1974 painting, Camel of Hardship. In this image, the figure of the porter bends under the weight of his satchel, which is significantly shaped like an eye and holds the city of Jerusalem as identified by the Dome of the Rock. Personifying Palestine through the figure of an old, weary, and isolated man, Mansour captures the concept of sumud, or steadfastness, and the continuing endurance of the struggle despite hardship. Before its international acclaim, the piece resonated locally as it was printed as posters in 1975 and displayed in homes and public venues throughout the West Bank and Gaza.
In 1988 he made a series of four painting on destroyed Palestinian villages, the four villages being Yibna, Yalo, Imwas and Bayt Dajan.
For Mansour, art aids the continuation and revival of Palestinian identity, particularly as it captures images of the land and people working in the land. By keeping roots in the ancestral homeland, Mansour enables Palestinians to continue to lay claim to it.
Mansour – also a cartoonist, art instructor and author –has contributed greatly to art education and promotion in the West Bank. He is now regarded as a pivotal cultural leader in Palestine. Co-founder of the Wasiti Art Center in Jerusalem, Mansour’s work has been exhibited in Palestine Israel, the United States, Japan, Korea and across the Arab world and Europe. He is a co-author of Both Sides of Peace: Israeli and Palestinian Political Poster Art.
Mansour has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions throughout the Arab world, United States, Europe, and Asia. Notably, he participated in the 1997 French Palestinian spring exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. In 1989, he received the “Nile Award,” at the 1998 Cairo Biennial for the series, I am Ismail and the Palestinian Prize for Visual Arts.

Samia Halaby was born in Jerusalem in 1936. She is an abstract painter and an influential scholar of Palestinian art.
Halaby and her family were expelled from their home in Jaffa in 1948 with the creation of the illegal Israeli state. They fled to Lebanon where they stayed until 1951 and they traveled to the United States.
In 1959, she received her Bachelor of Science in Design from the University of Cincinnati and graduated from Indiana University with a Masters in Fine Art in 1963. Shortly after she went on to hold her first academic teaching position at the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri. In 1966, she returned to the Arab world for the first time since being exiled for a long tour of Palestine, Syria, Egypt, and Turkey, where she researched Islamic architecture and geometric abstraction as part of a Faculty Development grant from the Kansas City Art Institute. Since that time, she has worked hard and her visits have resulted in a number of developments in her work: paintings, drawings and a special documentary entitled “The Kafr Qasem Drawings”.
Recognised as a pioneer of contemporary abstraction in the Arab world, although based in the United States since 1951, she has exhibited throughout the region and abroad and is widely collected by international institutions.
Based in New York since the 1970s, she has long been active in the city’s art scene, mainly through independent and non-profit art spaces and artist-run initiatives, in addition to participating in leftist political organizing for various causes. She has long been an advocate of pro-Palestinian struggles.
Halaby primarily works in abstraction but has also designed dozens of political posters and banners for various anti-war causes. Her work differs from figurative and direct images relating to Palestine. Some of her Paintings, varied with colorful features of abstract images of flowers ad landscapes, resonate with her Palestinian roots.
Her approach to abstraction has ranged from works exploring the visual properties of the geometric still life to free-form paintings in the form of collaged pieces of canvas that are joined to create larger abstractions that are free from the stretch. As of 2012, her oeuvre contained over 3,000 works, including paintings, three-dimensional hanging sculptures, artist books, drawings, and limited edition artist prints.
Due to her recognition in both the contemporary Arab art scene and in the US-based activist community, Halaby has been the subject of a number of art works by other artists. The 2008 film “Samia” by Syrian filmmaker and conceptual artist Ammar Al Beik was created around a taped interview of the artist that was commissioned by Ayyam Gallery, Dubai. In the film, Al Beik includes Halaby’s own footage of a trip to the West Bank in which she narrates her stay there and later documents a trip to her grandmother’s apartment in Jerusalem.
She has contributed to the documentation of Palestinian art of the twentieth century through such texts as her 2001 book, “Liberation Art of Palestine: Palestinian Painting and Sculpture in the Second Half of the 20th Century” (H.T.T.B. Publications.
In the early 2000s, she was instrumental in the landmark exhibition “Made in Palestine,” which was organized by the Station Museum of Contemporary Art in Houston.
The 2004 exhibition “The Subject of Palestine,” which Halaby curated for the DePaul Art Museum.

Mohammad Saba’aneh is a Palestinian caricaturist from Qabatiya in the Jenin area of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. 
He was born in 1978. He has been an active member in the Cartoon Movement since August 24, 2009.
Saba’aneh’s cartoons are widespread in the Arab world. He is well-known for his criticism through his artwork, which focus mainly on the Palestinian people’s problems and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Saba’aneh is a cartoonist for Al-Hayat al-Jadida. He also works at the Arab American University in Jenin on the West Bank. His cartoons are decidedly political, frequently criticizing Israel, the Palestinian Authority and mainstream Palestinian political parties.
He was detained by Israeli authorities on February 16th, 2013 while crossing back into the West Bank from Jordan, where he had been on a four-day trip. He spent five months in prison after being arrested by Israeli occupation forces .After two months of internment without charge, Israel charged him with drawing cartoons in a book they alleged had some association with Hamas.
During his incarceration, he was inspired and Saba’aneh began drawing day and night. Many of the pictures and sketches he produced during this period now make up the Cell 28 exhibition.
The photographs on display deal solely with issues regarding Palestinian political prisoners. The themes include family visits, longing, loneliness, solitary confinement, prisoner transfers, education in prisons and healthcare in prisons.
With this exhibition he wanted to explain to people what exactly is happening inside Israeli jails. He wanted to deal with Palestinian prisoners as a human case and not as heroes. The real purpose of the exhibition for him was to resist Israel´s jails.
Saba’aneh’s cartoons have been displayed in exhibitions in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Jordan and elsewhere.
On top of publications and exhibitions, Saba’aneh also gives cartooning lessons to youth to raise awareness and spread the profession.

Hisham Zreiq is a Palestinian filmmaker, poet and visual artist; he was born in Nazareth (1968) to a Christian Palestinian family.
He is considered one of the pioneers of computer fine art, starting doing computer art in 1994, and he showed his work in many galleries across the world. In 2001 Hisham Zreiq went to live in Germany. In 2006 He started filming his first documentary the sons of Eilaboun, a documentary about the massacre, expulsión and return of the residents of a small Palestinian village in the Galilee.
In 2008 he created the short film Just Another Day dealing with the Arabs living in western world after September 11 terror attacks, followed in 2001 by Before You is the Sea.
Zreiq’s art is his perspective on life, pains, disappointments, happiness, and his philosophical look at life. He uses extensive symbolism and metaphors in both his visual art and films. One example is the cross that symbolizes punishment and sacrifice, as Jesus was punished and sacrificed his life. His art is somehow surrealist, and looks like it was extracted from a dream-like world. The intensity of emotions cannot be ignored, and captures the eyes of viewers, encouraging their minds to wander. His pieces are powered by strong composition and powerful representation of colour.
In 2004 Zreiq was one of the winners of the award “Kunst- und Förderpreis Sparkasse Bayreuth”, and his work was exhibited Kunst & Museum Hollfeld.
His films were screened in several festivals and events, such as:
- Sixth Annual International Al-Awda Convention 2008, California USA
- Boston Palestine Film Festival 2008, USA

Jumana El Husseini was born in 1932 in Jerusalem. Her parents, Jamal El Husseini, and Nimati El Alami; both from prominent Palestinian families.
As a child, Jumana was a student at the Ramallah Friends Girls School near Jerusalem. Forced to leave Palestine in 1947, the family settled in Lebanon. Since her early age, El Husseini was art oriented. During the 1950’s she studied painting, ceramics, and sculpture while majoring in political science at the Beirut College for Women and then at the American University of Beirut. She also studied fine arts in Paris and had her first exhibition there in 1965. El-Husseini has since had a number of solo exhibitions in most Arab countries, especially in Jordan, as well as in Japan and Italy, in addition to her native city Jerusalem.
Noted for figurative paintings of Palestinian women and geometric houses in Jerusalem and Jericho, her style evolved from realistic to geometric and, since 1987 to abstract, with wavelike overpainted drawing evoking Arabic calligraphy. Since that year, her work has undergone a major shift: from being figurative and light, to abstract and dark. Her fanciful, stylized scenes of people and cities are now replaced by the reflective images of a search for rebirth. The paintings are constructed of diffused geometrical shapes floating in well-defined spaces. Articulating those shapes are calligraphic areas that shed both physical and spiritual light on this darkness. They are reminiscent of Middle Eastern cities at night. With their shimmering translucency, they become symbols of hope.
The paintings are sober in color. Texture is used to highlight a strong contrast or to subdue a powerful form. The change of Jumana’s art is the transformation from the joy of remembrance to the realization and assessment of a current situation.
Jumana learned the art of sculpture during the 1950´s when she was at the Beirut College for Women. She started on blocks of stone, then on hard rose wood. All her sculptures are created by carving (Hammer and chisel). The stone artwork is often associated with small hand cut mirrors, and the wood with gold leaf layers. Recently, Jumana has worked on small to medium size rocks from the Dead Sea. Using mixed media she transforms each object to a piece of art.
Early on, Jumana took part in exhibitions at the Museum of Sursok in Beirut (1960, 64, 67),the “Open Air Exhibition” of the American University of Beirut (1963), The BienNiali events of Alexandria (1969), Kuwait (1973), Baghdad (1974) and Venice (1979), The tourng Exhibition of the Smithsonian Institute of Washington (1971 to 73), and many collective events: in London (1965), Tokyo (1978), Geneva(1979), The Museum of Eastern Art in Moscow (1980), The National Museum in Madrid (1980), The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (1980), London (1985) and Geneva (1986), The Messe Exhibition Center in Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo (1988), The Barbican Centre in London (1989) and many others.
In 1991, she studied stained glass art at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris France (School of Fine Arts).
