Zouhair Dabbagh

Zouhair Dabbagh was born in 1953 in Aleppo, Syria. He graduated from the Damascus University with a degree in Fine Arts in 1977. Initially a sculptor, he shifted his focus on painting, where his figures arise from a liquid background, barely visible, yet potent in their existence. In 1997, Dabbagh received two scholarships from the Gulbenkian Foundation for the Talented to study abroad in Spain.
