Besher Koushaji

Born in 1984, Besher Koushaji has been a powerful force on the international art circuit for over a decade. He combines fine arts and graphic design, two seemingly contradictory disciplines, to produce mesmerizing pieces. By breaking his images with lines and sections, he creates intricately layered distortions of his original subjects. Each artwork enriches the canvas with both light and dark – the positive and negative forces that permeate all existence.

A graduate of Collage of Fine Arts, Damascus, his capacity to combine contemporary, fresh expression with classical Arabic calligraphy results in an unmatched depth and complexity. He intertwines Damascene architectural images, and bright, sunny palettes, creating intricate yet effortless pieces.While Koushaji’s initial work focused on the buildings of Syria, over time he has transitioned to infusing his paintings with portraits of the precious people he left behind.
