Ammar Khammash

Ammar Khammash bridges his architectural practice with his artistic practice  revealing a deep reverence for land as both archive and organism. Through painting, drawing, and photography, he translates the geology, biology, and atmosphere of place into abstract meditations on time and endurance. His expressionistic works emerge from long engagement with terrain, where observation becomes an act of devotion and documentation a tool for understanding. Each work carries the imprint of landscapes, transforming pigment and surface into extensions of stone, sediment, and sky.

 

Furthermore, his contributions in the areas of the environment and community development can be seen in several projects across Jordan. His interest in photography, coupled with an interest in Jordan's architecture, anthropology, archaeology, and nature have resulted in a large archive of images.
