About Artist
Mohammad Saleh Khalil was born in 1960 in Al-Zarqa, Jordan, to parents originally from Al-Walaja village near Bethlehem. He was raised in Damascus. In 1988, he received his MFA in Germany where he specialized in painting, etching, engraving, and printing techniques.
Khalil was able to return to his homeland for the first time in 1996, following the Oslo process. He settled in Ramallah, where he established his own studio. He founded the Young Artists Forum, where he teaches art to talented children and teenagers. He also heads the Fine Arts Program at the Palestinian Ministry of Culture.
Khalil borrows the themes of his paintings from daily incidents that occur in Palestine and other Arab countries. Inspired by German expressionism, he paints with wide brushstrokes and takes great care in the selection of colors and color distribution. Khalil’s work has been shown in several art exhibitions in and outside of Palestine, and he has participated in most of the exhibits of the General Federation of Palestinian Artists. Khalil has won many awards, notably the Jury Prize at the Biennale of Alexandria in 2000.
