ZAHI
KHAMIS
Informed by the Palestinian story, and his own life in exile, Zahi’s work is part of the long tradition of committed art.
My work is an exploration of the profound emotional landscapes of the Palestinian experience and the universal human condition. Through vibrant oil and acrylic colors, I seek to capture states of sadness, love, memory, and resilience. Informed by my life in exile and the enduring narrative of my Palestinian people, my art strives to affirm the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
Each piece is a meditation on the tension between hope and tragedy, expressed through bright, optimistic colors juxtaposed with the poignant expressions of my subjects. This interplay aims to amplify the value of life and the enduring power of hope. My paintings invite viewers to pause, reflect, and discover their own meanings within the layers of color, texture, and form.
I believe art has the unique ability to transcend boundaries and connect us on a deeply human level. My hope is that my work resonates with viewers’ innermost emotions, evoking a sense of solidarity and inspiring a renewed appreciation for the beauty and fragility of our shared existence.
