Additional info:
Safwan Dahoul was initially trained by leading modernists at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Damascus before traveling to Belgium, where he earned a doctorate from the Higher Institute of Plastic Arts in Mons. In May 2008, Safwan lost Nawar, his college sweetheart and wife of 20 years to cancer. The first five months of the year were dedicated to her battle against this terrible disease with its ups and downs while preparing for his solo exhibition at Ayyam Gallery, Damascus. For over twenty years, Syrian artist Safwan Dahoul has frequently used just a single word to title his paintings: “Dream.” Reflecting an oeuvre mostly comprised of variations of an enigmatic theme, the title acts to connect works that can be grouped as an uninterrupted series.
