Safwan Dahoul

Safwan Dahoul, born in 1961 in Hama, Syria, is one of the most prominent contemporary Arab artists. He began his artistic journey at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, where he studied under modernist masters, and later earned a doctorate in Plastic Arts from the Higher Institute of Plastic Arts in Mons, Belgium.

Dahoul is best known for his melancholic, monochromatic Dream series, an ongoing body of work that began in the late 1980s. These paintings explore universal themes such as solitude, alienation, and longing, often portrayed through a recurring female figure. His art blends contemporary figuration with influences from Cubism, Assyrian, and Pharaonic art, reflecting both personal and collective emotional experiences.
